Ingredients
- 12 ounces beef flank steak
- 1/2 cup bottled light clear Italian salad dressing
- 1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups mixed spring baby salad greens
- 1 medium red sweet pepper, cut into bite-size strips
- 1 medium avocado, halved, seeded, peeled, and thinly sliced
- 3 whole wheat pita bread rounds, halved
Instructions
-
Step1Score both sides of steak in a diamond pattern by making shallow diagonal cuts at 1-inch intervals. Place steak in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish.
-
Step2In a screw-top jar, combine salad dressing, lime peel, lime juice, and cilantro. Cover and shake well. Pour half of the salad dressing mixture into a small bowl and add onion; cover and chill until serving time. Pour the remaining salad dressing mixture in jar over steak in bag. Seal bag; turn to coat steak. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
-
Step3Drain steak, discarding marinade. Sprinkle steak with salt and black pepper. For a charcoal grill, place steak on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 17 to 21 minutes for medium doneness (160°F), turning once. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place steak on grill rack. Cover and grill as above.) (To broil, place steak on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat for 15 to 18 minutes for medium doneness [160°F], turning once.)
-
Step4To serve, thinly slice steak across the grain. In a large bowl, toss together steak, salad greens, red pepper, avocado, and reserved dressing mixture. Fill each pita half with steak mixture.
