Filet mignon steaks are coated with ground black pepper and salt, seared, and then served atop a bed of tender butter lettuce, along with creamy avocados, sliced cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes. The simple mustard vinaigrette pairs well with the peppery steak. Serve salad for a light, yet nutrient-dense dinner. The steak can be grilled or cooked in a cast iron skillet on the stove.
