Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef top round steak, cut 3/4 inch thick
  • 2 baby bok choy, cut lengthwise in half
  • 4 spinach wraps or tortillas (8 to 10-inch diameter)
  • MARINADE
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons reduced sodium or regular soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • SPICY PEANUT MAYONNAISE
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat or regular mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped dry roasted peanuts
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon chile-garlic paste
  • 3/4 teaspoons reduced-sodium or regular soy sauce
  • 3/4 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil

Directions

Combine marinade ingredients in small bowl. Cover and refrigerate 1 tablespoon for bok choy. Place beef steak and remaining marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight.

Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 10 to 11 minutes (over medium heat on preheated as grill, times remain the same) for medium rare (145°F) doneness, turning occasionally. (Do not overcook.) Brush bok choy with reserved 1 tablespoon marinade. Grill bok choy, uncovered, 4 to 5 minutes or until tender and lightly browned, turning once.

Meanwhile, combine Spicy Peanut Mayonnaise ingredients in medium bowl; mix well.

Carve steak into thin slices. Cut each bok choy half lengthwise in half again, forming quarters. Cut core from each quarter. Spread mayonnaise mixture evenly on spinach wraps. Divide steak slices and bok choy among wraps. Roll up tightly.
