I use ribeye for this recipe because it’s very tender and has a lot of flavor but you can use any tender cut of beef for this dish in substitute. I’d recommend either a NY Strip, tenderloin, or sirloin instead. Couscous is a great option for this salad but when I’m missing this I will grab orzo pasta or whatever I can find at the time.
