1.5 Vegetable, 1 Fat
12 ounces beef flank steak or boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut 1 inch thick.
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups torn romaine
5 ounces jicama, peeled and cut into thin bite-size strips (1 cup)
1 medium mango, seeded, peeled, and sliced
1 small red onion, cut into thin wedges
- Trim fat from steak. If using flank steak, score both sides of steak in a diamond pattern by making shallow diagonal cuts at 1-inch intervals. Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper.
- For a charcoal grill, place steak on the rack 2 of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill until medium doneness (160°F), turning once halfway through grilling time. Allow 17 to 21 minutes for flank steak or 18 to 22 minutes for top sirloin steak. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place steak on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.) Thinly slice steak diagonally across the grain.
- Meanwhile, for dressing, in a small bowl whisk together lime juice, oil, cilantro, honey, and garlic.
- To serve, divide romaine among six serving plates. Top with steak slices, jicama, mango, and red onion. Drizzle dressing over salads. Makes 6 servings.
Broiler Directions: Preheat broiler. Place steak on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat until medium doneness (160°F), turning once halfway through broiling time. Allow 15 to 18 minutes for flank steak or 20 to 22 minutes for sirloin steak.
