Leftover Flank Steak with Rice and “Little Gem” Lettuce

We harvested our first head of “Little Gem” romaine lettuce this weekend.  Wanting to celebrate the occasion I checked the refrigerator and pantry to see what was available for ingredients.  Viola, leftover flank steak, a good start.  We also had onions, organic brown rice and a bottle of “Saigon Sizzle” stir fry sauce.

It all came together for a delicious and fun to eat meal.  Here is the recipe.

1 1/2 cups of leftover flank steak cut into 1/4″ thick slices against the grain and then cut into bite sized morsels

1 onion rough chopped

2 tablespoons of good oil (coconut oil, avocado oil or olive oil)

3 tablespoons of “Saigon Sizzle” stir fry sauce

1 head of “little Gem” lettuce washed and separated into individual leaves.

a batch of your favorite rice, freshly cooked

PROCEDURE:

Start the rice.

While rice is cooking, prep all of your ingredients.

When rice is finished cooking, heat a saute pan, add your oil and then cook the onions until tender and slightly browned. (approximately 8 minutes).                       Add the flank steak and cook for 2 minutes, just long enough to bring to temperature.  Add the sauce and mix well.

Put rice, steak/onion mixture and lettuce on a platter.  Place some rice on a lettuce leaf and then some of the steak/onion mixture.  Enjoy.
