Step by step method

  • Step 1

    Combine ingredients for dressing in a small bowl.

  • Step 2

    Remove 1/4 cup for marinating flank steak; set aside.

  • Step 3

    Marinate steak in 1/4 cup dressing for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours.

  • Step 4

    Chill if marinating the steak longer than 30 minutes, otherwise it may be marinated at room temperature.

  • Step 5

    Prepare ingredients for salad, keeping components separate.

  • Step 6

    Heat oil for searing the steak in a large nonstick skillet over high heat.

  • Step 7

    Remove steak from marinade (discard the excess); season with salt and pepper.

  • Step 8

    Sear steak on both sides until medium-rare, 3-4 minutes per side.

  • Step 9

    Transfer meat to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then thinly slice steak against the grain with a sharp knife.

  • Step 10

    To assemble, layer half the greens in a deep glass bowl (a 12-cup trifle bowl is perfect).

  • Step 11

    On the lettuce, layer half of each of the tomatoes, cheese, chips, beans, cilantro, scallions, and steak slices.

  • Step 12

    Drizzle with half the dressing, then layer the rest of the ingredients.

  • Step 13

    Pile the other half of the steak slices in the center, and drizzle remaining dressing on top.

  • Step 14

    Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and serve.
