Adapted from a recipe by @thegirlonbloor Taylor Stinson, this portable salad will be the talk of the table in the lunchroom – you had better label your lunch bag! Use a quarter of the ingredients and a leftover cooked steak or roast beef to make a single lunch, or make the full recipe to get multiple lunches. If you can’t find Top Sirloin Cap Steak, substitute any of the Grilling Steaks.
