Grilled L&B Sirloin, Peach and Feta Salad

You know those types of salads that are so well crafted and full of addicting flavor that it’s hard to believe you’re in fact eating a salad? This is that kind of salad.


The rich flavors of the juicy sirloin steak, succulent peaches and creamy feta cheese all mix and mingle to form a Mediterranean-inspired celebration that quite literally looks like summer on a plate. And while these ingredients are not completely out of the ordinary—in fact, the marinade can likely be made with items you already have in your pantry—each bite will transport you to the lap of luxury. The way the sweetness of the peaches is tempered by the fresh lime juice and the feta plays off the rich char of the sirloin? Well, if these flavors were personified, they’d be in formal summer attire.


But rest assured, you don’t have to be in a fancy mood to enjoy this salad in full. The recipe is simple and straightforward, making it just as perfect for a low-key weekend as an elevated dinner party. If you’re reading this during summer in Minnesota, you’ve got the grill pulled out and ready to fire up, so you’re already halfway there! And after the grilling is done, the rest is simply mix, drizzle, plate and delight.
