Summer Dream: Grand Parisian Salad with Grilled Beef Sirloin




Here's another genius summer grilling/picnic recipe Tina found in Costco Connection -- steak and salad, perfect for the great outdoors. Tina added her own touch to it: grilled onions and peppers, which are always extra delicious cooked over hot coals with mesquite wood chips.

Can't wait to try it out, paired with a couple of watermelon mojitos at our favorite woodsy park.

¼ cup minced shallots
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
Juice of 1 lemon
1 pinch salt and pepper
1 pound beef sirloin steak
1 16-oz. bag Ready Pac Grand Parisian Salad
Optional
1 medium green bell pepper sliced
½ medium red onion sliced.

Combine shallots, soy sauce, oil, vinegar, thyme, lemon juice, salt and pepperin a bowl or zipper-lock bag. Add sirloin and marinate in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.

Grill sirloin to desired doneness.

Place salad ingredients in a bowl and toss.

Cut sirloin into thin slices and serve over salad

Optional: grill or cook pepper and onion and serve with salad.

Tip: Ready Pac Grand Parisian Salad can also be served with your favorite grilled fish or poultry.
