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 (check the int'l aisle)
- 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
Directions
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. JT likes his more medium, so I cooked mine for about 7 on each side. Let rest until room temperature then slice thinly against the grain. Be patient; it's worth it!
Combine lettuce, sliced shallot, cilantro, basil and beef in a salad bowl, reserving a few shallots for garnish. I went light on the shallot, a bit heavier on the cilantro and added corn to it. Add the reserved dressing and toss to coat. Divide salad among 4 plates and garnish with reserved sliced shallots. JT said next time he would love crunchy Asian noodles with it. Sounds good to me!
