At lunch one day, a friend told me about a steak salad she'd had at a party. It sounded so fantastic I had to try it for myself. My family would eat it nonstop if we could. Can't seem to get enough of that tangy dressing! —Alma Winberry, Great Falls, Montana

Ingredients

1 beef top sirloin steak (3/4 inch thick and 1 pound)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
SALAD:
1 bunch romaine, torn (about 10 cups)
2 cups fresh strawberries, halved
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
Reduced-fat balsamic vinaigrette

Directions

Season steak with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add steak; cook 5-7 minutes on each side until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Remove from pan; let stand 5 minutes. Cut steak into bite-sized strips; toss with lime juice.
On a platter, combine romaine, strawberries and onion; top with steak. Sprinkle with cheese and walnuts. Serve with vinaigrette.

Health Tip: If you’re looking to trim calories, leave off the walnuts and blue cheese; they’re adding almost 40 calories per serving.

Editor’s Note: To toast nuts, cook in a skillet over low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
