I am so excited to share with you my partnership with @OpenPrairieNaturalmeats! They are known for their responsibly raised meats. I cooked a NY Strip Steak, and it brought this simple salad to the next level.
I wanted to treat myself and my husband with a quick pan seared steak on a bed of fresh greens and veggies for a balanced, well-rounded meal. The whole meal took only less than an hour! The quality of the steak was great and the no antibiotics ever and welfare claims make this an easy choice for me.
