This chilled beef salad is a sensational switch from your everyday dinners. Colorful veggies provide the make-ahead main dish with crispness, while soy sauce and sesame oil flavor the homemade dressing. Betty Rassette of Salina, Kansas Ingredients:
3/4 pound beef top sirloin steak |
8 cups water |
4 cups cut fresh asparagus (1-inch pieces) |
2 cups fresh broccoli florets |
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce |
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
4-1/2 teaspoons sesame oil |
1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot |
2 teaspoons sugar |
dash pepper |
Directions:
1. Place steak on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 6-10 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°); cool completely.
2. In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add asparagus and broccoli; cover and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and immediately place vegetables in ice water. Drain and pat dry; refrigerate.
3. For dressing, in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, oil, ginger, sugar and pepper; shake well. Thinly slice beef and place in a bowl; add dressing and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Just before serving, add vegetables and toss to coat. Yield: 4 servings.
