    Asian Steak Salad

    Talk about a satisfying salad, this Asian Steak Salad has everything you could ask for . . .

    This hearty Asian Steak Salad is loaded with healthy vegetables, tender grilled steak and topped with a dressing that'll knock your socks off! | The Recipe Wench

     

    It's loaded with healthy, crunchy, fresh vegetables and then topped with tender grilled steak.

    I prefer flank steak for this, but I've used top sirloin and that's really good too.

    I've also compared grilling to broiling.  For me, grilling is the way to go!

    The dressing, though, that's the kicker!

    So delicious.

    Lime juice, soy sauce, garlic and sesame are such a great combination.

    I use Chinese cabbage for this salad.  It's sturdy and holds up well to the dressing without wilting.

    But your favorite combination of salad greens will not disappoint, I'm sure!

    ENJOY! - The Recipe Wench

      The dressing would certainly be my favorite! The salad is a delicious switch from chicken! A good flank steak taste awesome.
