The Ultimate Beef Salad

This
+ this

= Perfect Dinner

The key to this recipe is the marinade. Below is my edited version of this marinade recipe
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 shallots, roughly chopped
4-6 garlic cloves
1-2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 handfulls chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt

Place all ingredients in a blender & puree. Pour over beef* in ziplock bag. Let sit in fridge for a few hours. Remove from fridge and bring to room temp before grilling Place meat on grill over med-high to high heat. Cook to until medium rare. Let meat rest then slice thinly across the grain.

Prepare salad base: mixed greens & whatever else you enjoy in a salad - cucumber, red bell pepper, carrots, tomatoes, avocado. Toss with a light vinagrette & top with sliced meat. Enjoy.

*I used skirt steak but think it would be fantastic on any cut. I look forward to tri-tip!
