Thai Steak Salad

This recipe is delicious but a tad bit expensive to make because it calls for flank steak. So … although I really enjoyed it, I probably won’t have it on a regular basis unless I can find flank steak on sale.

I started with the marinade which was pretty simple to make — just tossing a few ingredients together and whisking them.

Next I combined the cabbage, carrots, mint, cilantro and basil together in a bowl.

After grilling the flank steak, we cut it into thin slices then halved them.

Then it was just a matter of tossing it all together.

Truly delicious and great as leftovers also!

I did “paleo-ize” (adapt) this recipe as it had ingredients we don’t normally use in our paleo diet. Ready to try it?
