Asian steak salad

This is a very quick & easy dish for lunch or a busy weeknight. I normally serve with toasted sourdough bread on the side.

serves 2

Ingredients:

1 lb. skirt steak

4 small tomatoes cut in halves

1/4 white onion, thinly sliced

2 handful mixed leaves

2 garlic cloves, sliced

2 Tbs. pine nuts

2 Tbs. olive oil for cooking

Dressing mix

1 Tbs. white vinegar 

2 Tbs. soy sauce
2 Tbs. Mirin ( If you don't have Mirin, mix 2 Tbs. water & 1/2 Tbs. sugar )


Directions:

Season the steak with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet at medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant then take it out and set aside.
Grill the steak in the same skillet for 3 to 4 minutes per side until medium. Turn off the heat and remove the steak to cutting board and let stand 5 minutes then slice.
Without cleaning the skillet, pour dressing mix into hot skillet and mix well.
In a bowl, toss tomatoes, onion and mixed leaves and transfer to each plate.
Place sliced steak on top of mixed leaves, cover with the cooked garlic.  Pour the dressing and garnish with the pine nuts.
