Preparation
Season the steak (6 oz) on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat butter (1 tsp) in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your preferred doneness. Remove from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce (1 Tbsp), lime juice (1 Tbsp), white vinegar (1 Tbsp), chili flakes (½ tsp), and minced garlic (½ tsp) to create the spicy lime dressing.
In a mixing bowl, combine mixed greens (1 cup), sliced cucumber (¼ cup), sliced red onion (2 Tbsp), chopped cilantro (1 Tbsp), and chopped basil (1 Tbsp). Toss with half of the dressing until evenly coated.
To assemble, place the dressed greens in a serving bowl, top with the sliced steak, and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
