Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ounces leftover prime rib, thinly sliced or chopped
  • 2 large soft-boiled eggs
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice, quinoa, or farro
  • 1 cup baby spinach or arugula
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ medium cucumber, sliced thinly
  • ½ ripe avocado, sliced
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • A handful of chopped parsley or cilantro (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a medium saucepan filled with water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower 2 large eggs into the water using a slotted spoon. Boil for exactly 6 minutes for jammy yolks. Immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Let cool for 5 minutes before peeling gently.
  2. While eggs cook, reheat 1 cup of leftover cooked grains in the microwave or on the stovetop until warm. Slice ½ medium cucumber thinly, halve ½ cup cherry tomatoes, chop 2 green onions, and slice ½ avocado. Toss fresh greens (1 cup baby spinach or arugula) in a large bowl to start building your base.
  3. Using a sharp knife, thinly slice about 6 ounces of leftover prime rib against the grain. Trim off excess fat if desired.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as preferred.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, add warmed grains and fresh greens. Toss gently with half the dressing to coat evenly. Arrange sliced prime rib on top, followed by cucumber, cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and green onions.
  6. Carefully halve each peeled soft-boiled egg and nestle them on the bowl. The yolk should still be slightly runny.
  7. Drizzle remaining dressing over the top, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro if using, and add a grind of black pepper. Serve immediately while eggs and grains are warm.

Notes

Use firm, well-rested leftover prime rib for best results. Soft-boil eggs for exactly 6 minutes for jammy yolks. Peel eggs under running water to avoid shell sticking. Warm grains hold dressing better. Slice prime rib against the grain for tenderness. Dressing can be made ahead and stored up to a week. Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
