MARINATING TIME: 12 hours
Directions
1 Marinate steak with ½ cup (125 mL) salad dressing in resealable freezer bag (12 hours for Marinating Steak/10-15 minutes for Grilling Steak). Discard marinade.
2 Candy-coat pecans by heating with sugar for 2 minutes in heavy frypan over high heat, stirring constantly until sugar is melted and becomes golden and syrupy. Be careful not to burn pecans.
3 Immediately remove pan from heat and use 2 forks to scoop the candied pecans onto a plate covered with waxed paper to cool. (This whole process takes only 3-4 minutes and requires caution.)
4 Season steak with your favorite steak spice and broil, BBQ or pan-fry steak for approx 4 to 5 minutes per side, to desired doneness.
5 Cut steak in thin slices across the grain. Just before serving, toss spinach with ½ cup (125 mL) salad dressing.
6 Place on plates and top with slices of cooked steak, crumbled cream cheese and pecans.
7 Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper, if desired.
