Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Peel and mince ginger. Place in a large bowl along with oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, chili-garlic sauce, and pepper. Whisk to combine the marinade.

Pat steak dry with paper towels and slice crosswise into thin strips. Add to the bowl with the marinade, toss to coat, and set aside.

Preheat a skillet over medium heat.

While the skillet heats up, preheat oven to broil on high and position rack in the upper third of the oven.

Once the skillet is hot, add sesame seeds and cook, stirring often, until golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside to cool.

Place edamame in the colander and rinse under hot, running water (from the tap) to defrost; set aside to drain.

Using a clean cutting board, peel and mince garlic. Place in a medium bowl along with oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and chili-garlic sauce. Whisk to combine the dressing.

Trim and slice cucumbers crosswise into ½-inch thick rounds. Add to the bowl with the dressing.

Trim, seed, and medium dice bell peppers. Add to the bowl.

Trim and cut green onions crosswise into thin pieces. Add to the bowl, along with drained edamame and toasted sesame seeds, reserving a small handful of sesame seeds for serving. Set bowl aside.

Transfer beef and marinade to a large baking sheet pan and spread out in an even layer. Place baking sheet in the oven and broil until beef is caramelized and cooked until desired doneness, 5-7 minutes. Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, juice limes into another small bowl.

Shave cilantro leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Add to the bowl with the lime juice and stir to combine the sauce.

To serve, divide black pepper beef and salad between plates or bowl. Drizzle sauce over beef, sprinkle with reserved sesame seeds, and enjoy!
