This is not your traditional salad. Use Flank Steak, Korean barbecue sauce and brown rice to have a delicious lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 beef flank steak (about 1 pound)
  • 3/4 cup Korean barbecue sauce (bulgogi beef marinade), divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup instant brown rice
  • 1 large carrot, cut into 1 x 1/2 x 1/4-inch strips
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fat-free half-and-half
  • 12 Boston lettuce or Bibb lettuce leaves

Directions

  1. Place beef steak and 1/2 cup barbecue sauce in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak to coat. Close bag securely; marinate in refrigerator 6 to 24 hours.
  2. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Season steak with pepper. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill steak, covered, 11 to 16 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 16 to 21 minutes) for medium rare (145°F) to medium doneness (160°F), turning occasionally. Carve diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare rice according to package directions. Set aside; keep warm.
  4. Toss carrot with rice vinegar; set aside.
  5. To make sauce, heat remaining barbecue sauce in small saucepan over medium heat 1 minute. Stir in half & half.
