Herramienta clave
Instrucciones de la receta
1
Roast the Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). In a bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25–30 minutes. Flip halfway through cooking until the potatoes become crispy outside and soft inside with a golden brown color.
2
Prepare the Steak: Remove steak from refrigerator 15–20 minutes before cooking. Pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
3
Insert the Meat Thermometer: Insert your TempPro TP970 TempSpike Plus 600-ft Wireless Meat Thermometer into the thickest part of the steak. This is the easiest way to guarantee an accurate level of doneness, that the steak maintains a juicy texture, and that you achieve professional-level results.
4
Sear the Steak: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil. Place steak into the hot pan. Cook for 3–4 minutes on first side, and then flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes. Monitor temperature carefully. Remove steak once the internal temperature reaches 130–135°F for medium-rare.
5
Rest the Steak: Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest 5–10 minutes. Resting helps retain juices and improves tenderness.
6
Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together:
- olive oil
- balsamic vinegar
- Dijon mustard
- honey
- salt and pepper
7
Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl combine:
- greens
- tomatoes
- cucumber
- red onion
- avocado
8
Slice and Serve: Slice steak thinly against the grain. Arrange over the salad. Top with Parmesan shavings, cracked black pepper, and extra dressing (f desired).

Why a Meat Thermometer Is Essential
Steak can overcook very quickly, especially when you’re multitasking with potatoes and salad prep. Using a meat thermometer from TempPro helps you:
- Cook steak to precise doneness
- Avoid dry or overcooked meat
- Maintain juicy texture
- Achieve consistent results every time
Steak Temperature Guide
- Rare: 120–125°F
- Medium-Rare: 130–135°F
- Medium: 135–145°F
For steak salad, medium-rare (130–135°F) is highly recommended for tenderness.

- A TempPro meat thermometer ensures perfectly cooked meat
- Balsamic dressing ties everything together
