Ingredients
1 boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut 1 inch thick (approx. 1-1/4 pounds)

Not only did you win, but I've seen salads like this in many restaurants. Next time I have one (perhaps at Grizzly Peak), I will mentally give credit to you. :^)
I got a recipe or two published in an anniversary cookbook published by the people who produce Old Bay Seasoning. Maybe it was the 50th anniversary in 1989? Anyway, it was a proud moment indeed, and I still have my copy of their cookbook / pamphlet ... somewhere...
