Steps:
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the steak with the salt and pepper and grill until medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes, then cut across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
- In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, vinegar, and sugar and whisk until the sugar is partially dissolved. Using the shredder attachment of a food processor, shred the jícama and apples; transfer to a bowl. Add the cilantro, lime zest, jalapeño, and dressing, and toss to combine.
- To serve, mound 1 1/2 cups of the salad into each serving bowl and top with about 7 slices of beef. Garnish each bowl with additional cilantro leaves and about 2 teaspoons of toasted peanuts. Serve immediately.

JICAMA - APPLE SALAD
This recipe has such a nice crisp texture. Not overly sweet, would make a nice change of pace for coleslaw. I came up with this just experimenting. I think chopped walnuts would also be good in this.

- In a medium bowl, stir together jícama, apple, red bell pepper, green onions, and fresh cilantro.
- In a small bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, lime juice, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and salt.
- Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine.

Tips:
- Choose the right jicama: Look for jicama that is firm and has a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid jicama that is soft or has any bruises or cuts.
- Peel and cut the jicama properly: To peel jicama, use a sharp knife to remove the thin, brown skin. Then, cut the jicama into matchsticks or thin slices.
- Use a variety of apples: For a more complex flavor, use a combination of different types of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Fuji.
- Add some crunch: To add some extra crunch to the salad, add some chopped nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans.
- Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really brings the salad together. Be sure to use a dressing that is flavorful and complements the other ingredients in the salad.
- Serve the salad chilled: For the best flavor, serve the salad chilled.
