  • 1 can (5-1/2 ounces) spicy 100% vegetable juice
  • 8 cups mixed greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, cut in half lengthwise, then into thin slices
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • Salt and pepper

Gazpacho Dressing:
  • 1 can (5-1/2 ounces) spicy 100% vegetable juice
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomato
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

Cooking:

  1. Place beef steak and 1 can vegetable juice in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight.

  2. Combine dressing ingredients; refrigerate. Combine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and 1 cup green bell pepper; refrigerate.

  3. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Pat steak dry with paper towel. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill shoulder steaks, covered, 12 to 17 minutes for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness (top round steak 15 to 19 minutes for medium rare(145°F) doneness; do not overcook), turning occasionally. Carve steak across the grain into thin slices. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.

  4. Meanwhile prepare Crunchy Tortilla Strips. Add steak to salad mixture. Drizzle with dressing and top with tortilla strips.

    Cook's Tip: Strips: Heat oven to 400°F. Cut 2 corn tortillas in half, then crosswise into 1/4-inch wide strips. Place strips in single layer on baking sheet. Bake 4 to 8 minutes or until crisp.
