2(6 oz/175 g) Strip Loin Grilling Steaks, 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick
Salt and pepper

Mango Salsa (recipe follows)
  1. Combine soy sauce, vinegar, onions, sugar, garlic, ginger root and sesame oil in small bowl. Place half of the marinade in large sealable freezer bag, reserving remainder for dressing. Add steaks to bag; seal and refrigerate for 30 minute or up to 2 hours, turning occasionally.
  2. Lightly oil preheated grill or grilling pan. Remove meat from marinade and season with salt and pepper to taste; discard marinade. Grill over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once. Remove from heat; let stand for 5 minutes.
  3. Cut steak diagonally into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices; toss with reserved dressing. To serve as layered salad, arrange over layer of individual endive leaves arranged on large platter; top with Mango Salsa. To serve as individual hors d’oeuvres, tuck strips of steak into individual endive leaves and top each with some Mango Salsa.
  • Mango Salsa: In small bowl, combine 1 mango, peeled and diced, 1 tomato, seeded and diced, 1/4 cup (50 mL) diced red onion, 3 tbsp (45 mL) chopped fresh coriander and 2 tbsp (30 mL) fresh lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Rosemary Beef Skewers with Winter Salad

APPETIZER BITES: Make many small skewers of meat and serve with the salad in a cocktail glass or on a bread and butter plate for tapas-style dining. The salad includes vegetables and fruits rich in Vitamin C with your meals to boost iron absorption. The oranges, grapes, beets and pomegranate juice in this recipe are clever food combos that do just that. BONUS: These ingredients provide powerful antioxidants too.

Beef Top Sirloin Tostada

With lean grilled beef and market-fresh veggies, this crispy crunchy main-course salad has all the satisfaction of a nacho platter with a fraction of the fat and a BIG boost of nutrients. Using oven-toasted whole wheat flour tortillas as the tostada base is a healthier choice than traditional fried corn tortillas.
