STEAK SALAD = THE PERFECT MAIN DISH

In honor of Earth Day in April and the kickoff to a plethora of fresh fruit and veggies being in season here in Michigan, I thought I’d share one of my favorite salad recipes: Caprese Steak Salad.

I can’t name one salad that beef tenderloin or any grilled steak for that fact wouldn’t be delicious on. Seriously. Give me salad. Give me steak. And I’m one happy camper! Thankfully the kids are somewhat on the same page, as long as the salad includes a side of ranch dressing to dip in.

BEEF IN A HEALTHY, SUSTAINABLE DIET

Attention-grabbing headlines have many of us scratching our heads about how to select foods that are adequately meeting their nutrient needs and taste preferences while also being environmentally conscious. When you choose beef as part of a healthy, sustainable meal, you’re choosing a delicious, natural source of high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin B-12, along with other essential nutrients. Environmentally, cattle play a unique role in the ecosystem because they upgrade human inedible plants, like grass and forages, to high-quality protein. In this way, they generate more high-quality protein for the human food supply than would exist without them.

Browse the latest research, resources, and recipes to equip yourself with the latest information on beef sustainability.

PREVENT FOOD WASTE BY ADDING LEFTOVERS TO SALADS

Along with this Caprese steak salad being an environmentally conscious AND delicious choice, this salad idea is a great way to use leftovers, preventing food waste! Nearly 40% of the US food supply is wasted. So don’t let those leftovers go to the landfill! Combine nutrient-dense beef with veggies to achieve a balance of nutrition and flavor in this Caprese steak salad. You can also explore these recipe collections for inspiration:

  • So Long Leftovers
  • Well-Balanced Meals
  • Batch Cooking Basics Guide

The bottom line is that beef is nourishing & part of a sustainable food system. As we work together to build a healthier, more sustainable food supply for ourselves and future generations, our focus should be on changes that are science-based, practical, and highly impactful, like reducing food waste, consuming balanced meals, and improving global agricultural productivity.
