Equipment

small pan

large bowl

Ingredients

6 oz. steak sliced (you can also you leftover steak or flank steak)
3-4 oz. mixed baby salad greens
2 oz. cheese thinly sliced
1 tbsp. pecans chopped and slightly toasted
4 oz. Portobella or cremini mushrooms sliced
2 tbsp. cranberries dried
2 figs dried , quartered
1 tsp. olive oil
salt and ground pepper
Fig balsamic dressing

Instructions

Put the small pan over medium flame and heat up one tablespoon of oil. Put the mushrooms when the oil is read and sauté until they are soft and brown. Add salt and pepper to enhance the taste of the mushrooms.
When you’re using leftover steaks, just add them with your mushrooms. If not, prepare your choice of steak and slice it up into thin pieces.
Prepare your green veggies and put into a large salad bowl. Add fig balsamic dressing and toss to distribute the taste.
Put the mushroom and steak over the greens and top them with cheese while they’re all warm. This way, the cheese will soften and melt slightly.
Garnish the salad with cranberries, quartered fig and pecans.
Drizzle it again with the fig balsamic dressing and serve immediately.
