Gingered Beef Salad Recipe.
A bright, gingery vinaigrette balances out the rich steak and crunchy vegetables in this quick and simple salad that puts a new twist on a classic stir-fry combo. Pan-frying the beef and broccoli right in the dressing ensures that the flavor sinks all the way in, and then tossing the results with the cold salad greens, sharp onion slices, and crunchy peppers brings out the flavors even more with an exciting contrast of textures and temperatures. If you want to impress your friends with your sophisticated cooking skills, this is definitely a salad to consider.
