Hibachi Steak Salad

Serves 4-6
Prep Time 20 minutes
Marinate Time several hours or up to 2 days
Cook Time 8-10 minutes

Ingredients

1 to 1¼ pounds flank steak
Fresh watercress leaves or other desired greens
Matchstick pieces carrot and jicama
Small edible flowers (optional)

Marinade:
½ cup ketchup
¼ cup Kikkoman® Soy Sauce
¼ cup Kikkoman® Rice Vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons Japanese 7-spice blend seasoning
3 cloves garlic, minced

Dressing:
¼ cup reserved marinade (recipe above)
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons Kikkoman® Rice Vinegar
1 tablespoon Kikkoman® Soy Sauce

Directions

  1. To prepare marinade, whisk together all marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside ¼ cup and refrigerate until ready to make dressing.
  2. Place marinade and steak in large resealable bag. Remove air and seal bag. Place in a large bowl and let marinate in the refrigerator for several hours or up to 2 days, turning bag occasionally.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high. Remove steak from bag and discard marinade. Place steak on grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare, or until steak is cooked to your liking. Remove and place on a large piece of heavy duty foil; let rest for 10 minutes.
  4. While steak rests, prepare dressing by stirring together reserved marinade, olive oil, rice vinegar and soy sauce.
  5. Place greens onto 4 to 6 large salad plates or bowls.
  6. Cut steak into thin bite-size strips and place over greens; drizzle with any accumulated juices. Garnish with carrot and jicama strips and edible flowers, if desired. Serve with dressing on the side.

Recipe tips:

  • The longer the marinate time the more tender and flavorful the steak will be.
  • Don’t skip the time to let the steak rest. This time allows the juices to settle and stay inside the steak when sliced.
  • Japanese 7-spice is available in the spice section of most major supermarkets.
