Directions:Season the steak with sea salt and freshly ground pepper and set aside while you make the dressing and assemble the salad. Whisk together the dressing ingredients, using the hot water to dissolve the peanut butter. Throw all salad ingredients except mango, avocado and cherry tomatoes into a large bowl and toss. Heat an iron skillet with a little olive oil. When fragrant, add the steak and allow to sear for approx .3 - 4 minutes, then flip it and sear other side. Allow enough time to cook through the way you like it (I'm a medium rare girl!). Remove to cutting board and allow to rest. Pour dressing over salad and toss to blend completely, then arrange on a platter. Distribute the mango and avocado on salad, and use the cherry tomatoes to make a circle around the base, just inside edges of platter. Slice the steak across the grain and arrange on top of salad. Garnish with peanuts and serve immediately. |

Notes: My all-time favorite restaurant chain is Houston's. Although the original was in Nashville, it's been gone quite a few years now. The closest one is in Atlanta, so when I'm on my way to Charleston from Nashville I look forward to stopping and devouring this salad. While my version differs somewhat from Houston's version, I think it captures that blend of flavors and textures that I fell in love with at first bite.
