Ingredients

Salad

  • 8 large pieces Bowery Mehadrin Baby Butter lettuce

  • 1 pound skirt steak

  • pickled onions (recipe follows)

  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots

  • fresh cilantro

  • crushed peanuts for serving, optional

Marinade

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

  • 3 green onions, finely minced

  • 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce

Pickled Onions

  • 1 large red onion, peeled and very thinly sliced

  • 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

  • 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (such as maple syrup, honey, sugar, etc.)

Directions

Prepare the Marinade

1.

Whisk ingredients together in a bowl.

Prepare the Pickled Onions

1.

In a small saucepan, stir together the vinegar, water, salt, and your desired amount of sweetener. Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture reaches a simmer.

2.

Place the thinly-sliced onions in a mason jar. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the onions, screw on the lid, and shake the onions briefly until they are evenly coated with the vinegar mixture.

3.

Let the onions marinate for 30 minutes. Serve immediately, or refrigerate the onions in a sealed container for up to two weeks.

Prepare the Steak

1.

Rinse steak in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Marinate the steak in three-quarters of the marinade for one hour.

2.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil on high heat until oil is smoking. Cook marinated steak for two minutes on each side. Remove from pan and allow to rest for 10 minutes.

Assembly

1.

Slice the steak very thinly. When ready to serve, build your lettuce cup by adding steak, veggies, herbs, and a quarter cup of the reserved marinade to lettuce and wrapping like a taco.
