Martha Monday: Recipe for Sirloin Steak Salad with Cilantro

It’s Martha Monday!

And it’s a good one!

This weeks recipe was a pick from Sarah of Mum in Bloom

But…there was really no salad. There was some cilantro, onions, and parsley, but it wasn’t exactly a salad. But it was a delicious meal.

Lets start at the beginning.

Martha has you whip up a marinade in the food processor of cilantro, champagne vinegar, EVOO, and some OJ and zest. I was expecting the consistency to be that of pesto but I got a runny marinade. At this point, your suppose to marinade your meat in half the marinade and save half for on top of the finished steak. I used the whole amount as a marinade because it was quite ugly as a sauce.

After you let it hang out for an hour more, you grill that baby up!

Meanwhile, I sliced some onions and grilled them on my grill pan. You can do this on the grill but mine were falling apart and I thought the grill pan would be an easier option at this point. I just grilled them till they had some good marks and great color.Then as I was rummaging through the fridge, I came upon some orange, yellow, and red baby peppers, I decided to slice them up and give them a little saute time of their own, and then through the onions in with them. This was the base of my “salad”.

With a sprinkle of flat leaf parsley and cilantro, I layed a few slices of meat on top. Replacing the missing ciantro sauce, I finished it off with with a balsomic reduction and a sprinkle of sea salt.

 I would will make this again. And soon! Delicious!
