1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

- Grill the steaks to desired doneness, then remove and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice the steak thinly against the grain.
- Arrange mixed greens on a large platter.

Medium-rare steak provides the best tenderness.
Swap cherries with strawberries or figs when in season.
Dressing can be made ahead and refrigerated.
Add avocado or grains like quinoa for extra heartiness.
