Instructions

Either the day before or the morning before you want to make this salad, prepare the beef in a marinade. Slice the beef into a few pieces and place them in a ziploc bag. Combine with the first amount of olive oil; rice vinegar; salt; and pepper, a chopped garlic clove, chili paste, and lime juice. Use the ziploc bag to spread the marinade around the steak. Set this in your refrigerator either overnight or for at least 6 hours.
Once the steak is done marinating, it’s time to make the salad! In a large bowl, combine the spinach, coleslaw mix, cilantro, a chopped serrano pepper, and diced cucumber.
Add the remaining ingredients to your salad mixing bowl and toss the ingredients until everything is coated evenly. Arrange the salad on a plate and set this aside.
Cook your steak in a small pan over high heat with as much marinade as you can squeeze out of your bag. Cook on both sides for 2-3 minutes or to your preferred doneness.
Arrange your cooked steak on top of your salad. Serve with a fork and knife. At your discretion, you may garnish your salad with extra cilantro, lime wedges, or additional spices. Enjoy!
