Instructions

  1. Pat steak dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 3-6 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board to rest.
  2. While steak cooks, wash and dry produce. Trim and thinly slice radishes into rounds. Halve, peel and thinly slice shallot.
  3. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine radishes, shallot, vinegar, ¼ cup water, 2 tsp sugar and a pinch of salt; cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and set aside to pickle until ready to serve.
  4. Massage grain blend in package to separate grains. Partially open package; microwave until warmed through, 1½-2 minutes. Transfer warmed grain blend to a large bowl. Add spinach, sesame ginger crunch, a large drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper; toss until spinach has wilted.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together dressing and mayonnaise. Add coleslaw mix and almonds and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Slice steak against the grain. Divide spinach grains between bowls. Arrange steak, slaw and pickled veggies (draining first) over top in separate sections. Drizzle umami ginger sauce over steak and serve.

Recipe Tips

For best results, let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.

If you prefer a crunchier slaw, add the almonds just before serving.

The pickled radishes and shallot can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
