Ingredients

Salad

  • 1 lb beef flank steak or boneless beef sirloin steak
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry or apple juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 8 medium green onions, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)
  • 2 medium tomatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 4 cups sliced fresh mushrooms (10 oz)
  • 1 small head lettuce, shredded (6 cups)

Spicy Ginger Dressing

  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped gingerroot
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Remove fat from beef. Cut beef with grain into 2-inch strips; cut strips across grain into 1/8-inch slices. (Beef is easier to cut if partially frozen, 30 to 60 minutes.) In glass or plastic bowl, mix sherry, olive oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and sugar. Add beef; toss to coat. Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Step 
    2
    Heat 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until 1 or 2 drops of water bubble and skitter when sprinkled on surface. Add half of the beef; stir-fry about 3 minutes or until beef is no longer pink. Remove beef from skillet; drain. Repeat with remaining beef.
  • Step 
    3
    In large bowl, mix beef and onions. Layer tomatoes, mushrooms and lettuce on beef. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour until chilled but no longer than 10 hours.
  • Step 
    4
    In tightly covered container, shake all dressing ingredients until well blended. Pour dressing over salad; toss until well coated.
