Ginger Steak Salad

adapted from Pioneer Woman
Ingredients

Marinade:
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. cooking Sherry
2 cloves garlic, minced (1/2 tsp.)
2 tsp. brown sugar
1 whole rib-eye, strip, or sirolin steak (or whatever you have on hand)
2 Tbsp. olive oil

Salad Dressing:
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp white sugar
1 Tbsp. lime juice
2 cloves garlic, finely minced (1/2 tsp.)
1 Tbsp. fresh ginger, minced
1/2 whole jalapeno, seeded and diced

Salad Ingredients:
drizzle of olive oil
1 red bell pepper, julienne
sliced almonds (generous handful)
8-10 oz. salad greens of choice (spinach, endive, radicchio, spring mix, romaine, etc.)
cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
4 whole green onions, chopped
sesame seeds

Directions
1.Combine steak marinade ingredients in a Ziploc bag. Mix and place steak into bag. Marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours. (If grilling- marinate for several hours. I did 7-8 hrs.)

2. Make salad dressing by combining all dressing ingredients and shaking or whisking until sugar has dissolved. Place in refrigerator.

3. Cook steak by either...
a. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a hot skillet. Cook steak until medium rare or medium well. Remove from skillet and keep on a plate, allowing to cool slightly before cutting into slices.
b. Grill steak until medium rare or medium well. Remove from grill and keep on a plate, allowing to cool slightly before cutting into slices. ( I grilled)

In a large skillet or wok, add a drizzle of olive oil over medium high-high heat and stir fry bell pepper and almonds. After 2 minutes or so, add steak slices and a small drizzle of the ginger salad dressing. Mix until all ingredients are coated with dressing.

4.Toss salad greens lightly in the dressing. Mound tossed salad on a platter, then place stir fry mix of steak, peppers, and almonds on top of salad. Drizzle additional salad dressing over the top. Add halved tomatoes, sliced green onions, and sesame seeds for garnish.

{If making to last more than one day only add dressing to desired amount of lettuce. I go light on dressing and had plenty left over dressing.}
