California Beef Salad

This is a wonderful recipe for those times when there is leftover beef in the fridge. Whenever we barbecue beef I plan on this salad to use up leftovers. It isn't a pretty sight, hence no picture, but it is a hearty main dish salad that is very tasty and satisfying. Blessings...

Recipe:

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 tbsps. fresh lemon juice
2 tbsps. sugar
1/4 tsp. dillweed
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
freshly ground pepper to taste
3 cups leftover cold beef, cut into strips
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 head romaine lettuce
1 cup sour cream, lite is fine

1. In a small saucepan, simmer the first 8 ingredients for 15 minutes. Cool.
2. Combine marinade with the beef and onion and chill overnight. Drain, reserving marinade.
3. Tear the lettuce into a large salad bowl. Top with the beef and onion.
4. Combine the sour cream with the reserved marinade and whisk until smooth.
5. Toss the dressing with the lettuce and beef and serve.

Serves 6
