Just look at that gorgeous flank steak salad!! We had a craving for a big, crunchy salad and came up with this beauty. My husband is really good at seasoning and cooking steak on the stove-top (we don’t have a grill, unfortunately). There’s two great things about steak night: it tastes delicious and I don’t have to cook. 

Each time he cooks steak, it’s a little different, but he mostly uses a pre-prepared steak seasoning, garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper. Keep it simple. We recently bought this grill pan and it works great to cook steak evenly and makes tasty grill marks!

It’s so easy to roast the corn and peppers. For the corn, all you have to do is trim the “hairs” from the ear of corn and pop it right into your oven! Seriously, just place it right on the rack at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, and the corn cooked perfectly. It steams and roasts at the same time and tastes AMAZING. 

We also roasted some red bell peppers — same temperature but for 10-12 minutes. The romaine was tossed in ranch dressing and it’s went really well with everything else on the salad!
