For best results, use baby spinach for its tender texture and mild flavor. Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until fragrant. Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the steak. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even browning. Allowing the steak to rest for a few minutes after cooking helps the juices redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. A light vinaigrette dressing is recommended to complement the flavors of the salad. Citrus dressings, like lemon or orange vinaigrette, work particularly well. Balsamic vinaigrette is also a great option.
