Steak Salad with Carrot Ribbons, Leeks and Peanut Dressing

Seared skirt steak layered over carrot ribbons, tender shaved leeks and greens with a bright peanut dressing.

Ingredients

1/3 cup creamy peanut butter

1.5 tbsp soy sauce

1.5 tbsp lime juice

1 tsp honey

1 tsp grated ginger

1 garlic clove, grated

1.5 lbs skirt steak

4 carrots, shaved into ribbons with peeler

1 bag tender salad greens

1 small leek, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced

2 tbsp crushed peanuts

2-4 tbsp warm water (to thin)

Make the peanut dressing. Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, ginger and garlic. Add warm water gradually until smooth and pourable.
Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Add a thin film of oil and sear the steak 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Rest 10 minutes and slice thinly against the grain.
Assemble salad. Toss carrot ribbons, greens and leeks lightly with peanut dressing. Arrange on desired plate, top with sliced steak, drizzle with additional dressing and finish with toasted peanuts.
