For meat lovers, there's nothing better on a nice day than firing up the grill and making yourself a really great steak.
But how about a steak salad instead?
This flavorful salad marries pan-seared skirt steak 鈥 a budget-friendly cut with a rich, beefy flavor 鈥 with a bright and gingery carrot vinaigrette you make in a blender. They're tossed with crisp disks of spicy radish, paper-thin slices of cucumber and the sweet and crunchy inner hearts of romaine lettuce.

Straccetti di Manzo
Straccetti di manzo, which translates roughly from the Italian to 鈥渓ittle rags of beef,鈥 is a trattoria staple. The cooking is minimal and quick, making this ideal for a weeknight dinner, but the beef must be thinly sliced.

Jerk Steak Salad
Jerk seasoning, a Jamaican specialty, helps create a spicy, one-dish salad that's perfect for hot summer evenings. This spice mixture usually contains allspice, along with onion, thyme, nutmeg and cinnamon. For this quick dinner, I use prepared jerk seasoning that can be found in the spice section of the market.
