I normally make a lot of guy food around here. But, yesterday,
with a houseful of girls getting facials and hand treatments as part of a Pink
Papaya party, I knew I needed to switch up the menu a little. (I may have also
used this as an excuse to by Gerbera daisies and fake snow-dusted poinsettias
for the table, but whatever.)
But along with the mimosas, cupcakes, cookies, cheese and
fruits…there still had to be beef. Obviously. While this was a mid-afternoon
soiree and no dinner was served, I still found a way to incorporate a little
ZIP (that’s zip, iron and protein) in the form of lean beef.
I present… Steak salad on a stick.
I recommend grilling your favorite lean beef (I used
sirloin, because I had a couple on hand), cutting into cubes and then refrigerating until you’re ready for it.
You could actually do this the day before to save time.
Then, all you need are some wooden skewers and your favorite
salad ingredients cut into skewer-friendly cubes. Lettuce, cherry tomatoes,
carrots, mushroom, onions and cheese all work wonderfully. Skewer them up and
serve with your favorite dressings. I poured Ranch and Thousand Island into mason jars to pretty it up a little. Ta-da!
