Ingredients

  • 3 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), minced
  • 1/4 cup(s) rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup(s) low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp peanut oil
  • 1 pound(s) lean sirloin beef
  • 8 cup(s) mixed greens
  • 1 cup(s) canned unsweetened mandarin orange(s), drained
  • 1 Tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1/3 cup(s) packaged chow mein noodles

Preparation

Step 1

Combine garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, oil and hoisin sauce in a large bowl; add steak. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours or overnight. Remove steak to plate; reserve marinade.

Preheat grill or broiler. Grill or broil steak for 8 minutes on each side for medium or longer until desired doneness. Remove and slice steak into thin strips. Meanwhile, pour reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute more, stirring occasionally.

To serve, place 2 cups greens on each of 4 plates. Top each with about 3 ounces of steak, 1/4 cup of oranges and 1 heaping tablespoon of noodles; drizzle each with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of cooked and cooled marinade.
