I heard about this salad from someone once, and decided to try it out. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it, because it's not your average salad. No lettuce, but instead quinoa and chickpeas. The feta makes it feel like a Greek salad, but with more substance. I then simply store it in the fridge and it is good for a quick lunch for the next few days.
Marinated Flank Steak
Sometimes I don't want to think much about getting a steak ready. For instance, if I'm going to make a prime rib or a NY Strip, I always feel the need to dry brine it in the fridge for 24 hours, then reverse sear it, and sous vide it, yada yada. Instead, I just want to buy a simple and somewhat inexpensive cut of meat, prepare a simple marinade and cook it up. This is what I've found! We will usually just make mashed potatoes and broccoli on the side, but this meat could be the foundation of your next fajita or taco night! You'll want to marinade for at least 30 minutes before cooking the steak, and up to 24 hours.
