Tangy Beef Salad Food

TANGY BEEF OR PORK MARINADE

Steps:

• Mix red wine vinegar, soy sauce, maple syrup, ginger, mustard.
• Stir well.
• Taste for your own taste preferences.
• It should have a sweet tangy taste.
• Add garlic, sesame oil and optional red pepper flakes.
• Mix well.
• Pour into ziploc bag, add meat and press out all air.
• Marinate in fridge for several hours shaking the contents often as the oil will separate.
• I usually marinate overnight, but a couple hours is fine too.
• Marinating overnight makes the meat extremely tender and flavorful.
• The soy sauce measurement is low for our taste preference as we don't like it's salty taste.
• You can adjust however you wish to your liking.
• I don't measure any of the ingredients and I add alot of ginger and red pepper flakes because we like the additional kick.

TANGY PASTA & BEEF SALAD

Steps:

• Mix A.1. sauce, dressing and garlic until blended. Pour 1/4 cup over steak in shallow dish; turn steak over to evenly coat. Refrigerate 1 hour to marinate. Refrigerate remaining sauce mixture for later use.
• Heat grill to medium heat. Drain steak; discard marinade. Grill steak 8 to 10 min. on each side or until medium doneness (160°F). Let stand 10 min. Meanwhile, combine cooked pasta with vegetables and cheese in large bowl.
• Cut steak across the grain into thin slices. Add to pasta mixture with half the reserved sauce mixture; mix lightly. Refrigerate 1 hour. Stir in remaining sauce mixture before serving.
