5-Ingredient High-Protein Lemon Pepper Steak Salad 🍋
(Serves 2)
Ingredients:
- 1 lb beef flank steak (I buy pre-sliced stir-fry and choose grass-fed & finished when available)

- Frozen peas or 3 green onions, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, finely diced
- 4 oz sugar snap peas
Kitchen Staples (items we always keep in the fridge or pantry):

- Dried oregano
- Ground black pepper

Lemon Pepper Dressing:
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Zest of 1 lemon

Directions:
1. Prepare the dressing by whisking all dressing ingredients together in a small bowl or jar.
