Step 1 – Combine veggies.

Combine the sliced lettuce, red onion, and jalapeño pepper in a large bowl.

Whisk together olive oil, mustard, and red wine vinegar to make the dressing. Drizzle over the lettuce, onion, and jalapeño pepper.

Prep the steak for cooking by smearing mustard and olive oil over both sides of the steak.

Step 4 – Sear steak.

Salt the steak and sear it in a pan over very high heat. Another cooking option is to grill it on high. This shouldn’t take long, probably just a few minutes on each side.
