Grilled Steak and Potato Salad

Marinated grilled steak is the perfect complement to this fresh and colorful salad with a simple vinaigrette that serves as both marinade and dressing.  Using broth in the dressing makes it light and flavorful, and gently steaming the potatoes and beans in broth gives them a subtle savory essence.

Cooking Directions

  • Beat 1/2 cup broth, the oil, vinegar, mustard, and garlic in a medium bowl with a fork or whisk.  Season as desired.  Place the beef into a shallow nonmetallic dish or gallon size resealable plastic bag.  For the marinade, pour 1/4 cup broth mixture over the beef and reserve the remaining broth mixture for the dressing.  Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Place the potatoes into a 3-quart saucepan and add remaining broth.  Heat over medium-high heat to a boil.  Reduce the heat to low.  Cook for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender, adding the green beans to the saucepan during the last 5 minutes of the cooking time.  Drain the potatoes and beans well in a colander.
  • Remove the beef from the marinade.  Discard the marinade.  Lightly oil the grill rack and heat the grill to medium.  Grill the beef for 10 minutes for medium-rare or to desired doneness, turning the beef over once halfway through grilling.  Remove the beef to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes.  Cut the beef into thin slices.
  • Place the beef, potatoes, beans, mushrooms, red pepper, onion and tomatoes into a large bowl.  Add the reserved dressing and toss to coat.  Serve over the salad greens.
