Title: Blackened Steak Salad
Categories: Beef Salad Vegetable
Yield: 4 Servings

3/4	lb	Top sirloin steak (about 1"
		Thick), fat trimmed
1	tb	Cajun or blackening spice
		Blend
1/2	c	Salsa
1/2	c	Nonfat sour cream
2	tb	Lime juice
3/4	lb	Prewashed spinach leaves
1	cn	(15oz) black beans; rinsed
		And drained
1		Jar(7.25oz)peeled roasted
		Red peppers; drained and cut
		Into thin strips

Pat steak with spice blend to coat both sides evenly. Heat a 10-12" frying pan over medium-high heat. When pan is very hot, add steak. Cook, turning occasionally, until meat is well browned on the outside and done to your liking, about 14 minutes for medium rare. Meanwhile, whirl salsa, sour cream, and lime juice in a blender or food processor until smooth. Arrange spinach leaves, beans, and peppers decoratively in a large serving bowl. When meat is done, cut it into thin bite-size slices; add to salad. At the table, mix salad thoroughly with dresing. Add pepper to taste. Source: Sunset Recipe Annual 1997
