Spinach Salad with Flat Iron Steak
  1. 1

    Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grate. Season both sides of the steak with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Grill on the preheated grill until it reaches your desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let the steak rest in a warm spot.

  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the salad dressing and bring it to a boil, then stir in the bell peppers and mushrooms.

  5. 5

    Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the peppers are tender, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Use a slotted spoon to transfer the vegetables to a bowl and set aside.

  7. 7

  8. 8

    Meanwhile, thinly slice the steak against the grain.

  9. 9

    Divide the spinach among serving plates. Spoon the warm vegetable mixture over the spinach and top with the sliced steak.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
