Seared Steak Salad with Edamame & Cilantro

Your rating: None Average: 4.4 (12 votes)

Look for prewashed packages of Asian-style salad mixes at your supermarket - their peppery, exotic character is great with this full-flavored steak and dressing. Look for fiber- and protein-rich edamame (green soybeans) in the frozen vegetables section of your supermarket.



READER'S COMMENT:
"This is a great salad recipe! I substituted shredded carrots for cabbage (just a personal preference). I might marinate the steak next time to give the meat a little more flavor. "
