Beef Salad with Pepper Dressing

By KatKD

For some unknown reason, this is the salad that I like to serve on Derby Day.

Menu note: served salad without the beef, with Pick N Save Ginger Sesame Tilapia.

Step 1

Combine first 4 ingredients n a baking dish; stir to dissolve sugar. Add steak, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours, turning occasionally.
