Grilled Steak Fajita Salad

Simplicity and goodness, I love this one!  Once again I get to use my BBQ and the salad is a nice light twist!

1 cup Diana Sauce, original flavour (or your favourite BBQ Sauce)
2 tbsp each lime juice and chopped fresh coriander
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce
500 g Sirloin Steak
1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
4 corn tortillas or small flour tortillas
1 tbsp vegetable oil
6 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1/2 cup sliced red onion
1 red or yellow pepper, sliced
1 avocado, sliced (love this addition!)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (use mozzarella or get creative with goat cheese)
1/2 cup sour cream ( I skipped this)


  1. Preheat the grill to medium high and grease lightly.  Stir the sauce with the lime juice, coriander, cumin and hot pepper sauce.  Brush 1/4 cup of the mixture over the steak and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper (I omitted the salt).  Brush the tortillas with the oil.
  2. Set the steak and the tortillas on the grate.  Grill the tortillas for 2 minutes, turning as needed or until well marked.  Remove from the grill, cool slightly and break or tear into strips.  Grill the steak for 8 to 10 minutes, turning once.  Rest the steak for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
  3. Layer the lettuce, red onion, peppers and avocado onto four serving plates.  Top with the steak and the tortilla strips.  Drizzle with the remaining sauce mixture and garnish with the cheese and the sour cream.  Makes 4 servings.
