Instructions

  1. 1

    Rub the beef steak with 1 tablespoon olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Let marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Grill the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together sherry vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to make the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Arrange the mixed greens, sliced tomatoes, roasted red pepper, red onion, and olives on a large serving platter.

  5. 5

    Thinly slice the rested beef against the grain. Lay the warm beef slices over the salad.

  6. 6

    Drizzle the vinaigrette evenly over the salad. Top with Manchego cheese shavings and sprinkle chopped parsley over everything.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately, optionally with crusty bread on the side.
