Too hot to cook?  
 
It sure is here!  I live in Texas and I'm tellin' ya, it's blazin' hot here.  We haven't had much rain in what seems like months and all the poor farmer's crops have all but burned up!  I mean, there's something seriously wrong when the weather forecast states “dangerous heat index, outdoor exposure should be limited.  All that to say…it's hot as heck here and I'm NOT cookin' today! Well, maybe just a little bit. 
Salads are always a great option for hot days when it's too hot to cook, but to be honest I get sick of salads sometimes.  This Asian Sugar Snap Pea Steak Salad is something a little different, but definitely great and packed with flavor.

    I love this recipe but I did tweak it a bit. I used Jennifer’s dressing as a marinade for the steak and made a separate delicious Asian dressing for the dish. It came out AMAZING!!! Here is the dressing I used.

    • 2 medium cloves garlic finely minced
    • 1 tablespoon finely chopped or grated fresh ginger
    • 1 tablespoons red onion finely chopped
    • ¼ cup rice vinegar
    • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
    • 3 tablespoons honey
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
    • 1 teaspoon Sriracha
    • 2 tablespoon sesame seeds
    • 2 tablespoon poppy seeds
    • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
    • ¼ cup canola oil
    • 1 teaspoons sea salt
    • ¼ teaspoon finely ground black pepper
    Instructions
