We love the chipotle-rubbed sirloin, but this salad is a wonderful use for any leftover steak. From MyRecipes.com.

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt, divided

  • ¼ teaspoon chipotle chile powder

Directions

Instructions Checklist

  • Step 1

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Combine 1 teaspoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, chipotle chile powder, and black pepper; rub evenly over steaks. Add steaks to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand 10 minutes. Cut steaks diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
