Seared Steak Salad with Edamame & Cilantro

Seared Steak Salad with Edamame & Cilantro Recipe Look for prewashed packages of Asian-style salad mixes at your supermarket - their peppery, exotic character is great with this full-flavored steak and dressing. Look for fiber- and protein-rich edamame (green soybeans) in the frozen vegetables section of your supermarket.
