Beef 'N' Black-Eyed Pea Salad Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

30 30

Ingredients

2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
1 to 2 teaspoons chili powder
12 ounces beef top sirloin steak
8 cups torn romaine
1 can (15-1/2 ounces) black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
1 large sweet red pepper, julienned
1/2 cup sliced ripe olives
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, drained
2 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Combine garlic and chili powder; rub over both sides of steak. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill steak, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done 170°).
When cool enough to handle, slice meat across the grain into thin strips; place in a large bowl. Add the romaine, peas, red pepper, olives, chilies, onions and cilantro. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Yield: 6 servings.
