3 fennel bulbs

3 Gala apples

1 ½ bunches kale

Instructions

Place sugar and spices in a small bowl. Stir to combine the spice rub.

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

While the skillet heats up, pat the steak dry with paper towels and place on a plate; season with the spice rub on both sides.

Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Working in batches if necessary, add steak and cook until desired doneness, 2-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean plate and set aside to rest, 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce.

Place oil, vinegar, sugar, Dijon, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, then whisk to combine the dressing.

Fold kale leaves in half lengthwise and slice off the stems; chop or tear leaves into bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl with the dressing, then using your hands, massage kale with the dressing until wilted, 1-2 minutes.

Trim off root end and stalks of the fennel, leaving only the white bulbs. Halve fennel bulbs lengthwise, then slice lengthwise into thin strips. Add to the bowl.

Quarter, core, and medium dice apples. Add to the bowl.

Peel and thinly slice shallot into rings. Add to the bowl.

Using a peeler, shave Parmesan into curls. Add to the bowl.

Roughly chop apricots. Add to bowl, toss to combine the salad, and set aside.

Thinly slice steak into strips.

To serve, divide salad and steak between plates or bowls. Enjoy!
