Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank or sirloin steak, trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for steak)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 6 cups curly kale, washed, stems removed, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (about 1 medium lemon)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for kale)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for dressing)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (for dressing)
  • Optional toppings: toasted sliced almonds or chopped walnuts, thinly sliced radishes, avocado slices

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Rub with olive oil, then sprinkle salt, pepper, and smoked paprika evenly on both sides. Let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust sweetness or tang as desired. Set aside.
  3. Heat skillet over medium-high heat until very hot (about 3-4 minutes). Add steak and sear for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove steak and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  4. While steak rests, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chopped kale, toss to coat, and cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted but bright green. Remove from heat, drizzle with lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and toss well.
  5. Place a generous handful of lemony kale in each bowl. Top with sliced steak. Drizzle honey mustard dressing over everything. Add optional toppings like toasted almonds, radishes, or avocado slices.
  6. Taste and add extra lemon juice or honey mustard if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Let steak rest before slicing to keep it tender. Massage kale with lemon juice and olive oil before cooking to reduce bitterness. If honey mustard thickens in fridge, whisk before serving. Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Adjust cooking times for steak thickness and desired doneness.
