Hot Gingered Beef & Broccoli Salad with Red Pepper

Directions

1. 1. Wash and dry all fresh produce; pat greens dry if pre-washed and set aside.
2. 2. Peel and mince the garlic and ginger; place them in a medium bowl.
3. 3. Whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili-garlic sauce to form the dressing.
4. 4. Slice the steak into thin strips and toss with about one third of the dressing; let it marinate while you prep the vegetables.
5. 5. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and swirl in a little oil to coat.
6. 6. Break the broccoli into florets and cut the stems into bite-sized pieces; add to the skillet and cook, stirring often, until bright green and just shy of tender, about 5 minutes.
7. 7. Add the marinated steak and the remaining dressing to the skillet; cook, stirring often, until the beef reaches your preferred doneness (about 2–3 minutes for medium). Remove from heat.
8. 8. Seed and slice the red peppers into thin strips.
9. 9. In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens with the remaining dressing and fold in the pepper slices.
10. 10. Plate the salad, top with the beef and broccoli mixture, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
