Preparation

  1. Step 1

    To make the dressing, whisk together the dressing ingredients; marinate the steak in half of the dressing, seasoning with white pepper to taste, 4 hours or overnight.

  2. Step 2

    To make the salad, prepare a charcoal grill or preheat a broiler. Combine the lettuce, sprouts, scallions, cilantro and wonton wrappers. Toss with 6 tablespoons of the reserved dressing.

  3. Step 3

    Grill the steak until medium rare, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove and let sit for a minute or so. Cut across the grain into thin slices and serve on a bed of salad drizzled with remaining dressing.
