Thai Beef Salad
From: EatingWellThe steak for a Thai salad is often marinated before it's broiled and that's a shame, because most of those flavorings burn off and turn to naught. For the best taste, first sear the steak, then let it sit overnight in the marinade before tossing it with the greens.

2 cups torn red leaf lettuce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
