Asian Beef Salad with Sesame Dressing

Salad is always a good idea for lunch, because it can be prepared ahead. The following paleo lunch recipe is made by marinating sirloin steak, then serving it on a bed of fresh vegetables, adding almonds for crunch and orange for a touch of sweetness, along with a ginger and sesame dressing to finish the dish off beautifully.

If you want to take this to work, you can prepare it ahead but keep the dressing in a separate container and add it just before eating. Feel free to tweak the salad, using any ingredients you want to add. You can also change the amount of red pepper flakes if you prefer a milder flavor.
