   Add the steak and toss to coat. Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour or up to 2 hours.

   Prepare the Ginger Dressing, whisk in about 2 tablespoons of the peanut sauce, or to taste and store in the fridge until you're ready to eat.

4. 4

   If you're in a hurry or do not have a grill you can use a hot pan. Place the steak in the freezer while you prep the salad, for up to 15-20 minutes to slice the steak easier.

   Prepare the veggies and greens in a large salad bowl or platter.

   Heat a grill to high heat. Let the marinade drip off the steak and pat with paper towels, then add to the grill. Turn down to medium high. Grill on each side until 135-145 internal temperature. Let rest and slice against the grain.
