Spicy Ginger/Soy Steak salad


we made this with leanest, grass fed beef directly from my papa Larry's ranch. As good as it gets.

Ingredients for steak and marinade:
2 small fillets -grass fed beef or bison
1/8 cup wheat free soy sauce
1/2 tsp. ginger, minced
2 tsp. garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tsp. organic sesame oil
1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/4 tsp. sambal oelek (red chili sauce)

Directions for steak:
1. combine all of the marinade ingredients in a shallow dish with lid, stir and add steaks to marinade. flip steaks occasionally to cover and let sit in marinade for at least on hour with the lid on.
2. add a little high heat oil to a cast iron pan and heat on high. add steaks and cook until medium rare (turning a few times). an instant read thermometer will read 125°F when inserted into the thicket part of the steak. set aside to cool for 1/2 hour
3. once cool, slice steaks across the grain into thin slices.

Ingredients for salad dressing:
1/8 cup wheat free soy sauce
1/2 tsp. ginger, minced
1 tsp. garlic, minced

1/8 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tsp. organic sesame oil
2 tsp. white wine vinegar
1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/4 tsp sambal oelek (red chili sauce)

Salad:
4 cups Romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
3/4 cup snow peas, cut into thirds
1/2 red pepper, sliced thin
1/2 yellow pepper, sliced thin
3 small tomatoes cut in half
1 carrot, sliced lengthwise

Directions:
1. combine all the dressing ingredients into a lidded jar, close lid and shake well
2. toss all of the salad ingredients into a large bowl, add dressing and toss again
3. arrange steaks slices on top of salad and serve
