Flank Steak Salad Recipe

Prep: 25 min. + marinating Grill: 15 min. + standing

Yield: 8 Servings

25 15 40

Ingredients

2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot
1 beef flank steak (2 pounds)
VINAIGRETTE:
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon ketchup
3 tablespoons chopped onion
1 tablespoon sugar
1 small garlic clove, peeled and halved
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 bunch romaine, torn
1 cup grape tomatoes

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the lime juice, soy sauce, garlic and ginger; add the beef. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Drain beef and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill beef, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Let stand for 10 minutes. To serve, thinly slice across the grain.
Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, onion, sugar, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper; cover and process until pureed. While processing, gradually add oil in a steady stream.
Place romaine and tomatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with vinaigrette; toss to coat. Divide among eight plates; top with steak. Yield: 8 servings.
