Hot Pineapple-Beef Salad Recipe

Hot Pineapple-Beef Salad Recipe

  • 6 tablespoons Safeway SELECT Gourmet Club Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 pound boneless beef sirloin steak, fat trimmed
  • 4 large green-leaf lettuce leaves, rinsed and crisped
  • 2 pounds peeled, cored pineapple
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions (including tops)
  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and garlic. Cut steak across the grain into 1/8-inch-thick slices; add to bowl and mix to coat with marinade. Let stand for 15 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  2. Meanwhile, place a lettuce leaf on each plate. Cut pineapple into 1/2-inch-thick rings. Arrange half the rings equally on lettuce; cut remaining rings into 1-inch chunks.
  3. Place a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over high heat. When it's hot, remove meat from marinade and add to pan; reserve 1/4 cup marinade. Stir often just until meat is browned on the outside but still slightly pink on the inside (cut to test), 2 to 3 minutes, or as done as you like. Transfer meat to another bowl. Add pineapple chunks and reserved 1/4 cup marinade to pan. Stir pineapple until hot, about 1 minute. Pour meat and juices back into pan, and stir in green onions.
  4. Spoon meat mixture and juices equally over pineapple rings and lettuce leaves.
