Asian Steak Salad with Cucumber and Napa Cabbage
  • prep 25 mins
  • total time 25 mins
  • servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)

  • 1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes

  • 1 garlic clove, crushed through a press

  • 1 pound flank steak

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • 1/2 head napa cabbage (1 pound), thinly sliced crosswise

  • 1 English cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced on the diagonal

  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped unsalted roasted peanuts

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, vinegar, oils, red-pepper flakes, and garlic.

  2. Step 2

    Pierce steak all over with a fork; place in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour soy sauce and half of lime-juice mixture over steak (reserve remaining half for dressing), and marinate at room temperature, 10 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator).

  3. Step 3

    Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Lift steak from marinade (discard marinade), and place on baking sheet. Broil, without turning, until medium-rare, 8 to 10 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes. Slice thinly on the diagonal, across the grain.

  4. Step 4

    In a large bowl, toss cabbage and cucumber with reserved dressing; divide among four plates. Top salad with steak and peanuts.

    This salad was great. My husband didn't even have to add ketchup, which he eats on everything with meat! Very zesty is true, I might cut down on the vinegar
