True Blue Steak Salad

This easy to prepare salad is good and good for you.
The combination of blue cheese and cranberries
are a great addition to this salad.
If the mood or weather (or time constraints) do not allow for grilling, broiling the meat works just fine for this simple and delicious recipe. Enjoy this low-carb and healthy treat. I recently discovered this cut of steak and found it to be very tender and quite affordable.
Ask your butcher for it if you don't see it displayed in the meat case.

Ingredients;
1 cup olive oil
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
1 lb flat iron steak
1 10-12 oz bag salad greens
8 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
4 radishes, sliced
1 avocado, peeled and sliced
4 oz crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup dried cranberries
Fresh cracked black pepper, optional

Directions:
Whisk together oil, vinegar, lemon juice, thyme, salt and pepper.
In a large zip top plastic bag, combine meat and half the dressing. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and as much as overnight.
Prepare grill. Grill over hot coals for 12-15 minutes, basting regularly, turning every few minutes for medium (or to desired doneness).
Remove from heat, allow to rest for 2-3 minutes.
Cut across grain into 1/4 inch thick slices.
Divide salad greens onto 4 dinner plates.
Divide rest of vegetables and sprinkle on top of salads.
Place equal amounts of steak on top of each salad
and top each with crumbled blue cheese and dried cranberries.
Drizzle remaining dressing onto each salad.
Serve with fresh cracked black pepper if desired.
