Instructions
 

  • Grill the Steak: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the steak with olive oil, garlic, onion, salt, and pepper. Grill the steak to your desired level of doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare). Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  • For the Ginger-Lime Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together minced ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sliced scallion, lime juice and zest, honey, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Or use a blender.
  • Prepare the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, shredded carrot, and shredded red cabbage.
  • To Serve: Slice the grilled steak thinly against the grain. Drizzle the ginger-lime vinaigrette over the salad ingredients. Arrange the sliced grilled steak on top of the salad. Sprinkle the candied walnuts over the salad. Serve and Enjoy
