Mixed salad with skirt steak!

At least once or twice a week I serve salad. Often when I do it's to clean out the vegetable drawers in the refrigerator. If I have corn I use that and if I have asparagus I use that so have that in mind when you read the recipe. If you don't have green beans use some other beans or perhaps asparagus if that's what you have. The ingredients list is sort of a blend of what was in my drawers that day but it turned out good I must say!!!

Ingredients;

Skirt steak
Mojo marinade
Spring mix salad blend
Arugula
Exotic mushroom blend
Cherry tomatoes
Green beans
Cheddar cheese in small cubes
Salt and pepper
Lemondressing

First put the skirt steak in a ziplock with some mojo marinade and put aside. Then add the tomatoes to a shallow oven-safe dish, sprinkle with a good olive oil, salt and pepper.

Bake in the oven at 400F until the tomatoes are soft and a shrunken.

While the tomatoes are in the oven add the mushrooms to a frying pan and cook on high heat in a little olive oil. When done add some salt and pepper.

Also while the tomatoes are in the oven put a pot of water on the stove and bring to a boil. Add salt and the green beans and cook for a few minutes until almost tender. When done put in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

When the tomatoes are done take them out of the oven and set aside.

Now its time for the meat. (Make sure the grill is ready, if it needs five minutes to heat you turn it on five minutes ahead)
Take the meat out of the bag and remove the marinade. Grill according to your grills instructions and your preference. If you like your meat well done thats the way you make it but if you like it rare make sure you don't forget the meat on the grill.

When the meat is done leave it to rest on a cutting board while you assemble the salad.
Mix the salads, mushrooms, green beans, tomatoes and cheese in a big bowl. Make sure you get all the juices from the mushrooms and tomatoes as it will blend nicely with the salad dressing.

Cut the meat in strips and add any meat juices to the salad. You can either put the meat into the salad or serve it on the side, same goes with the dressing.

Enjoy your salad!
