This recipe takes some time to make but is simply delicious...

So lets get started without further ado. :)

I will begin by listing the ingredients and then explain the how to cook it!


Ingredients

  • 1 pound top-round London broil or flank steak, about 1 to 1 1/2-inches thick
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice, divided
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced ginger
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons red curry paste or chili-garlic sauce
  • 1/2 head red-leaf lettuce, torn (about 6 cups)
  • 3 shallots, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup), divided, for garnish
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, rinsed and dried
  • 1 cup basil leaves, sliced into ribbons
Now for the detailed instructions. ;)

Rinse and pat the meat dry. Place in a sealable plastic bag or small glass dish.

In a medium bowl combine 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, soy sauce, canola oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and red curry paste. Pour half the mixture into the bag with the meat.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice to the bag. Seal tightly, and marinate meat in refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.

Reserve the rest of the mixture refrigerated, to dress the salad. Spray grill or grill pan with cooking spray and preheat.

Grill steak until medium-rare, about 5 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness. Let rest until room temperature then slice thinly against the grain.

Combine lettuce, sliced shallot, cilantro, basil and beef in a salad bowl, reserving a few shallots for garnish. Add the reserved dressing and toss to coat.

Divide salad among 4 plates and garnish with reserved sliced shallots.

Open a bottle of fresh white wine and enjoy it with some friends... ;)

Almost forgot, a little spin to the recipe, you can also add some tomatoes to the mix...
