Ingredients 

Cilantro Dressing:

  • 2 cups cilantro, fresh
  • 2 large garlic cloves
  • 1 large lemon
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey, add more if needed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or avacado oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Salad:

  • 4 cups Romaine Lettuce, or arugula
  • 1 cup tomato, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 large avocado, sliced

Steak:

  • 4 7 ounce sirloin steaks
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons butter, unsalted

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 F | 200 C. Grease the basket or place parchment paper at the bottom.
  • Prepare The Steak: Marinate the steak. Add steak, salt, pepper, garlic, basil, and oil to a shallow bowl. Rub both sides of the steaks to marinate. Cover and set aside while the air fryer is heating. Place steak in the air fryer basket and air fry for about 3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for another 3 minutes.
  • Make The Dressing:  Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend or process until you get a creamy texture. Transfer in a bowl or a jar and refrigerate while preparing salad and steak.
  • Make The Salad: In a large salad bowl, add lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and avocado. Set aside in the refrigerator while preparing the steak.
  • Plating The Steak Salad: Remove the steak, and place it on the salad with 1/2 teaspoon of butter—drizzle the salad with creamy cilantro dressing.
