Makes: 6 servings
Prep: 20 minutes
Marinate: 24 hours
Grill: 17 minutes
Ingredients
12 ounces beef flank steak
1/2 cup bottled light clear Italian salad dressing
1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel
1/4 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cups spring baby salad greens
1 medium red sweet pepper, seeded and cut into bite-sized strips
1 medium avocado, halved, seeded, peeled, and thinly sliced
3 whole wheat pita bread rounds, halved
Directions
Score both sides of steak in a diamond pattern by making shallow diagonal cuts at 1-inch intervals. Place steak in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish.
In a screw-top jar, combine salad dressing, lime peel, lime juice, and cilantro. Cover and shake well. Pour half of the salad dressing mixture into a small bowl and add onion; cover and chill until serving time. Pour the remaining salad dressing mixture in jar over steak in bag. Seal bag; turn to coat steak. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
Drain beef, discarding marinade. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. For a charcoal grill, grill steak on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 17 to 21 minutes for medium doneness (160°F), turning once. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place steak on grill rack. Cover and grill as above.)
To serve, thinly slice beef across grain. In a large bowl toss together beef, salad greens, red pepper, avocado, and reserve dressing mixture. Fill each pita half with beef mixture.
