Summer Steak Salad with Ginger-lime Dressing

Recipes »  Soups, Stews and Chili  »  Meat and Poultry

Known in Asia as Shaking Beef Salad, or bo luc lac, this Vietnamese classic is made by shaking essentially searing steak in a very hot pan. The older I get the more I like the salad/beef combo. Healthy but with the meat I crave.
