Hand full of fresh cilantro
1 flank steak

Steps:

  • Place all of the Mojo Sauce ingredients in a small food processor, or blender. I have a "Bullet" which I love and is perfect for making the mojo sauce. Place the flank steak in a zip lock bag or shallow dish. Add the sauce; l let marinate in refrigerator for 2 hour to overnight. Remove the flank steak from the marinade; place remaining marinade in saucepan. Let steak stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Grill the flank steak to your desired doneness. As you can see from the picture, we like ours on the rare side. Let the cooked steak stand for 10 minutes before thinly slicing across the grain. Bring the marinade in the saucepan to a boil. Let it cook for several minutes; it will begin to thicken. Place the avocado, tomato and onion into a bowl. Add the heated mojo sauce to the salad. Serve on the side of the steak, or on top. Your preference.

Provided by KateL

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 ounces soba noodles (buckwheat noodles)
1 lb flank steak
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup napa cabbage, shredded
1 cup carrot, shredded
1 cup fresh bean sprout
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon sucanat
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Cook noodles according to the package directions.
  • Slice steak across the grain into strips (about 1/4-inch thick by 2 inches long).
  • Heat oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat and cook meat for 5 minutes or until no longer pink in the middle; drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss together cooked noodles, cabbage, carrots, bean spouts and cilantro. Add flank steak strips.
  • PREPARE DRESSING:.
  • Prepare dressing in a small bowl; whisk together all dressing ingredients. Pour over steak and toss gently.
  • Let steak cool and, for best flavor, refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving salad. (Will last in refrigerator for up to 4 days.).

Tips:

  • Choose the right flank steak: Look for a flank steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds and has a nice even thickness. Avoid flank steaks that are too thin or too thick, as they will not cook evenly.
  • Marinate the flank steak: Marinating the flank steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple olive oil and garlic marinade, a citrus-based marinade, or a soy sauce-based marinade.
  • Cook the flank steak over high heat: Flank steak is best cooked over high heat so that it can quickly sear and develop a nice crust. You can cook the flank steak in a grill pan, a skillet, or on an outdoor grill.
  • Let the flank steak rest before slicing: Once the flank steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and juicy.
  • Slice the flank steak against the grain: When you slice the flank steak, be sure to slice it against the grain. This will make the steak more tender and easier to chew.

Conclusion:

Flank steak salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. The flank steak is marinated in a flavorful marinade and then cooked over high heat until it is tender and juicy. The steak is then sliced and served over a bed of salad greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. The salad is dressed with a simple vinaigrette dressing. Flank steak salad is a great way to get your daily dose of protein and vegetables. It is also a low-carb meal that is perfect for those on a diet.
