Steak Caesar Salad

• 1 16 ounces fully cooked beef, strips or 16 ounces cooked beef steaks, aka leftover steak
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
• salt, to taste
• 10 ounces complete caesar salad in a bag
• Garnish
• parmesan cheese (optional)

1. Trim fat from steak. Cut steak lengthwise in half and then crosswise into 1/4-inch thick strips.
2. Combine beef, garlic, oil and pepper. Toss to coat. Heat large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
3. Add beef (half at a time) and stir-fry 1-2 minutes or until outside surface is no longer pink. (Do not overcook.) Steak can also be grilled whole then sliced. Leftover steak works great here too!
4. Remove from skillet. Season with salt as desired. Note: *To substitute the fully cooked beef strips or leftover steak just heat them up and continue with the next steps*.
5. In large bowl, combine beef with lettuce and dressing from salad kit. Toss lightly.
6. Sprinkle with croutons from kit and parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.
