Steak Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes and Goat Cheese

Steak Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes and Goat Cheese

 

I’m fortunate to have a husband who is a grilling genius.  He’s perfected steaks, chicken, pork – really anything I throw at him.  One of the best grilling dishes in his repertoire is Flank Steak.  The key is buying the meat from a good butcher and not overcooking.  Season the meat well and let the grill do it’s magic.  Flank steak is the perfect addition to a salad and with the addition of delicious, in season, Heirloom tomatoes, goat cheese, pecans and a delicious balsamic glaze, this is truly a perfect salad. This is a Sunday summer staple in our house!
