A healthy take on a steak dinner. Customize it and make it yours! Want to add a fruit? Strawberries and Blue Cheese make for great additions...but this Italian version really keeps it feeling like home for me. Enjoy!

Season steak with SPG (salt pepper garlic). Place on grill. Flip your steak after 7 minutes. Slice the lettuce, bell pepper, onion, and cucumber.
Slice the lettuce, bell pepper, onion, and cucumber. Place vegetables and place into salad bowls. Once steak reaches 130°F, remove from the grill and let rest.
Make salad dressing while steak rests. In a small bowl add oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic and whisk with a fork. Then pour half that dressing over the salad and then top with fresh grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
Slice your steak then cut those in half, so they become bite sized pieces.
Top with sunflower seeds.

Steak can also be cooked on a charcoal, smoker or on a skillet.
