Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 beef flank steak (3/4 pound)
1 package (5 ounces) spring mix salad greens
1 plum tomato, cut into wedges
1/4 cup sliced radishes
1/4 cup chopped celery
2 green onions, cut into 1-inch strips

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk the first six ingredients. Pour 1/3 cup into a shallow dish; add steak and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for dressing.
Drain and discard marinade from steak. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 11-12 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Cut across the grain into thin slices.
In a large serving bowl, combine the greens, tomato, radishes, celery, onions and beef. Drizzle with reserved marinade; toss to coat.

This is an amazing salad. Even my kids love it and requested it again. I have served this for company and always get lots of comments.

My family tried this for dinner tonight. Everyone loved it. I omitted the radish and added avocado,yellow bell pepper, & cilantro.I also cheated & used frozen pre-cooked fajita meat,which saved on time. The dressing is a great compliment to this salad. Will definitely add to my favorite recipe book.
