Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or flank steak

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced

4 cups mixed greens (combination of spinach, arugula, and lettuce)

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 small cucumber, thinly sliced

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1 avocado, diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/4 cup peanuts or cashews, chopped (optional for crunch)

Juice of 2 limes

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), the juice of one lime, grated ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the beef, ensuring it is fully coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes and up to 2 hours for deeper flavor infusion.

    Cook the Beef: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and place it in the hot pan. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the beef reaches your preferred doneness. After cooking, transfer the beef to a cutting board, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice it thinly against the grain.

      Prepare the Salad Base: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, diced mangoes, sliced red bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, and diced avocado. Gently toss the ingredients to ensure an even mix.

        Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining lime juice, olive oil, and a dash of salt and pepper. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed.

          Assemble the Salad Bowl: Divide the salad base among serving bowls, placing a generous amount in each. Top each serving with the sliced beef, then sprinkle with chopped cilantro and nuts (if using). Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the salad bowls.

            Serve & Enjoy: Enjoy the salad right away, with the beef warm and fresh, or refrigerate for a refreshing cold meal later. Dive into your Tropical Tango Mango & Beef Salad Bowl for a burst of flavors!
