Steak Marinade:

2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sherry
2 minced garlic cloves
2 teaspoons brown sugar
 
1 rib-eye, strip, or sirloin steak
2 tablespoons olive oil

Salad Dressing:
 
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 generous tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
½ jalapeno, seeded and diced
8 ounces salad greens: baby lettuces, endive, radicchio, etc.

First, combine steak marinade ingredients in a Ziploc bag. Mix together and then place steak into bag. Marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

In small bowl combine salad dressing ingredients and set aside. Slice green onions and set aside.

When steak is finished marinating, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to a hot skillet. Cook steak about 1 ½ minutes per side, or until medium rare. Remove from skillet and keep on a plate, allowing it to cool slightly.

Toss salad greens in ¾ of the salad dressing. Place steak on cutting board and slice thinly, then pour juices from the plate over the top. Mound tossed salad on a platter, then place sliced steak on top of salad. Pour remaining salad dressing over top.

Sprinkle green onions over the salad, add cherry tomatoes if desired.
