If you like grilled steak, this skillet steak will be your go-to technique for poor weather days. The hot skillet makes a perfect crust on the steak allowing it to develop a ton of rich caramelized beef flavor. The Mediterranean flavors of cucumber and tomato are presented as a cooling salsa to serve over the slices of steak. Serve this combination over a bed of mixed greens as a hearty dinner salad or with a side of warm roasted potatoes for a heartier dinner. Serve this inside a baked potato for a seriously satisfying lunch. Ready in a short 18 minutes, this dish is a wonderful weeknight go-to any time of year.
