Ingredients

1-1.5 lbs True Aussie Tenderloin can sub another cut of Aussie beef if desired
16 oz Spring Mix or Mixed Greens
1.5 cups blackberries, raspberries, or blueberries I used a combination of all 3!
½ cucumber cut into rounds
¼ red onion sliced thin
Feta cheese for topping- optional

Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette

½ cup olive or avocado oil
⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
2 cloves minced garlic
2 tbsp dijon mustard
½ tsp sea salt
1 cup strawberries
1-2 pitted dates use 2 if your strawberries aren't very sweet!

Instructions

Combine all vinaigrette ingredients EXCEPT for the strawberries and date(s) in a blender. Blend on high for 30 seconds. Place steaks into a shallow bowl and pour only HALF of the vinaigrette over top. Let them marinate in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Add the strawberries and date(s) to the blender with the remaining vinaigrette. Blend on high for 30 seconds until combined and creamy. Pour into a storage jar and place in the fridge until ready to use. This can also be made the night before!
Once the steak has been marinating long enough, heat up your grill over medium high heat. Cook the steaks for 3 to 5 minutes each side for medium-rare (an internal temperature of 135 degrees F), 5 to 7 minutes for medium (140 degrees F) or 8 to 10 minutes for medium-well (150 degrees F).
Slice the steak and serve over top the greens with the berries, cucumbers, onions, feta, and vinaigrette. Enjoy!

Notes

*You can also cook the steaks using a cast iron skillet. Simply add 1 tbsp of olive or avocado oil to a cast iron pan and let it heat up over medium high heat. Once hot, add the steaks. Sear for 2 minutes each side, then finish in a 450 degree oven for approximately 5 minutes for medium rare. Enjoy!
