Friday Recipe - Mediterranean Beef Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

I made this salad using left over grilled steak and it was delicious and refreshing. I found the recipe in a "diabetic living" magazine or something when I was waiting at the dentist office. It is quick to throw together, especially if you already have the steak grilled.

Mediterranean Beef Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb boneless beef top sirloin steak
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
4 c romaine lettuce leaves
1/2 c small red onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings (Optional)
1 c halved cherry or grape tomatoes
1/2 c crumbled feta cheese (2 oz)

Lemon Vinaigrette
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 c olive oil
1/2 tsp finely shredded lemon peel
3 Tbls lemon juice
1 Tbls snipped fresh oregano or 1 tsp dried oregano, crushed
2 cloves garlic, minced

Trim fat from steak. Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper. Grill or pan fry steak to desired doneness. Thinly slice the steak.

Divide romaine lettuce among 4 dinner plates. Top with sliced meat, onion, tomatoes and feta cheese. Drizzle with Lemon Vinaigrette.

To make lemon vinaigrette: In a screw-top jar combine all ingredients. Cover and shake well. Makes about 1/2 cup of dressing.
