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.
