For the Salad

Instructions
 

For the Steak Marinade

  • Combine all the marinade ingredients in a gallon-sized zipper top bag or large bowl. Add steak and toss to coat. Place in refrigerator for 4-8 hours.

For the Salad

  • On a large platter, arrange lettuce leaves, tomatoes, red onion and avocado. Prepare chimichurri sauce (see recipe link in post).
  • Preheat oven to 425° F. Place the potatoes in a pan covered with water, bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and place on a baking sheet with asparagus and mushrooms. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Bake for 15 minutes. Arrange on platter.
  • Grill marinated flat iron steak until internal temperature reaches 135 degrees for medium rare. Allow to rest 5-10 minutes before thinly slicing. For the most tender results, it's important to slice across the grain. Arrange sliced steak on platter. Spoon chimichurri sauce over steak.
