My family rarely eats steaks for dinner. Good quality beef produced in a sustainable manner is getting more expensive these days. Lean red meat can play an important part in a healthy balanced diet. Steak Salad is one of the dishes I often cook for my family. Just one good quality steak adds a wide variety of nutrients to the salad for four of us.
