Steak Caesar Salad

Ingredients

• 1 lb top sirloin steak, cut 1-inch thick or 16 ounces fully cooked beef, strips or cooked beef steaks, aka leftover steak
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
• salt, to taste
• 10 ounces complete caesar salad in a bag

Garnish

• parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   Trim fat from steak. Cut steak lengthwise in half and then crosswise into 1/4-inch thick strips.

2. 2

   Combine beef, garlic, oil and pepper. Toss to coat. Heat large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

3. 3

   Add beef (half at a time) and stir-fry 1-2 minutes or until outside surface is no longer pink. (Do not overcook.) Steak can also be grilled whole then sliced. Leftover steak works great here too!

4. 4

   Remove from skillet. Season with salt as desired. Note: *To substitute the fully cooked beef strips or leftover steak just heat them up and continue with the next steps*.

5. 5

   In large bowl, combine beef with lettuce and dressing from salad kit. Toss lightly.

6. 6

   Sprinkle with croutons from kit and parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.
