Beef N Black-Eyed Pea Salad Recipe

  • 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 8 cups torn romaine
  • 1 (15.5 ounce) can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 large sweet red pepper, julienned

  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro or parsley
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime peel
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  1. Combine garlic and chili powder; rub over both sides of steak. If grilling the steak, coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray before starting the grill. Grill steak, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145 degrees F; medium, 160 degrees F; well-done 170 degrees F).
  2. When cool enough to handle, slice meat across the grain into thin strips; place in a large bowl. Add the romaine, peas, red pepper, olives, chilies, onions and cilantro. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour over salad and toss to coat.
