How to Make Grilled Steak Spinach Salad

Step 1

Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high heat.
Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the lime juice, garlic, 1/2 tablespoon of the ginger, the soy sauce and jalapeño peppers (if using). Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the canola oil. Place the meat in a shallow dish and coat it evenly in marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon ginger, the sugar, rice wine vinegar and black pepper. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
Step 4

In a large salad bowl, combine the cucumber, bell peppers, radishes, carrots, onion, mint, cilantro and basil. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat. Set aside.
Step 5

Grill the flank steak for 6 to 7 minutes on each side. Remove the flank steak from the grill and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Thinly slice the meat on an angle, cutting the meat against the grain.
Step 6

Add the spinach, sliced steak and peanuts to the salad. Toss and serve.
