Sesame- and Soy-Grilled Steak Salad

 Sake, also called Japanese rice wine, adds to the mix of the other Asian flavors in the marinade for the grilled sirloin steak.

Ingredients

    1 3/4 pounds top sirloin steak (about 1-1/2 inches thick)

Marinade:

    1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
    1/3 cup sugar
    3 tablespoons sake, rice wine or dry sherry
    1 teaspoon dark Asian sesame oil
    6 cloves garlic, minced
    4 scallions, trimmed and minced
    1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
    1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    12 cups mixed greens, including Romaine
 

Directions

1. Place steak in baking dish.

Marinade:

1. Mix soy, sugar, sake, oil, garlic, scallions, sesame seeds, paprika and pepper in small bowl. Pour over steaks. Marinate 1 hour in refrigerator, turning after 30 minutes.
