List of Ingredients
Fajita Beef Salad
1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel
1/3 cup lime juice
3 tablespoons water
4 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
12 ounces beef flank steak
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons powdered fruit pectin
2 tablespoons honey
6 cups torn mixed salad greens
2 small red and/or yellow tomatoes, cut into wedges
1 small avocado, halved, seeded, peeled, and chopped (optional)
Recipe
In a screw-top jar combine the lime peel, lime juice, 3 tablespoons
water, and olive oil. Cover and shake well. Pour half of the lime juice
mixture into a small bowl; stir in onion and garlic. Reserve remaining
lime juice mixture.
Score the beef by making shallow diagonal cuts at 1-inch intervals in a
diamond pattern. Repeat on other side. Place beef in a plastic bag set
in a shallow dish. Pour the lime juice mixture over the beef. Close bag.
Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hrs, turning occasionally.
For dressing, in a small bowl gradually stir 3 tablespoons water into
fruit pectin; stir in reserved lime juice mixture and honey. Cover and
chill for 24 hrs.
Drain beef, discarding marinade. Grill beef on the rack of an uncovered
grill directly over medium coals to desired doneness, turning once.
Allow 12 to 14 mins for medium. (Or, place beef on the unheated rack of
a broiler pan. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat to desired doneness,
turning once. Allow 12 to 14 mins for medium.)
To serve, thinly slice beef across grain. Arrange the greens, tomatoes,
and, if desired, the avocado on 4 salad plates. Top with beef. Drizzle
each serving with about 2 tablespoons of the dressing.
Makes 4 servings.
