These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.

Edamame Salad with Crisp Steak Bits

Yum yum! Doing the steak pieces in the cast-iron skillet really crisps them up!


Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:
3 cups frozen shelled edamame
2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 1/2 cups chopped seeded English cucumber (about 1)
4 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces flank steak, cut into small pieces
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:
1. Cook edamame according to package directions. Drain. Rinse with cold water; drain.
2. Combine soy sauce and next 5 ingredients (through sesame oil) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add edamame, tomatoes, cucumber, and onions; toss to coat.
3. Heat a medium cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add olive oil to pan; swirl to coat. Combine steak, salt, and pepper, tossing to coat steak. Add steak mixture to pan; cook 5 minutes or until well browned and crisp, stirring frequently. Spoon 1 1/2 cups edamame mixture onto each of 4 plates; top evenly with steak.
