A hearty salad featuring sliced bavette (or flank) steak served over a bed of fresh greens, often accompanied by a variety of vegetables, nuts, or cheese, drizzled with a flavorful dressing.
The term 'bavette' is French for 'flank' and refers to a cut of beef that comes from the abdominal muscles of the cow. Bavette steak became popular due to its rich flavor and tenderness when cooked properly. The salad version showcases the steak's qualities in a lighter, more refreshing format, making it a popular choice in bistros and casual dining establishments primarily in France and the United States.
The dish combines the savory and robust flavor of the grilled bavette steak with the crunch of fresh greens and a tangy dressing, creating a balance of hearty and light tastes.
