Directions
1. Miso-Balsamic Steak: Combine balsamic dressing, miso paste, soy sauce and lemon juice in a sealable freezer bag. Pierce steak all over with a fork. Add to bag, turning to coat, seal and refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours.
2. Remove meat from marinade; discard marinade. Pat steak dry with paper towel. Grill in a closed preheated barbecue over medium-high heat (400°F/200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, turning twice or more, until a digital instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into centre of steaks reads 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare doneness at the least (or 160°F/71°C for medium, or 170°F/77°C for well-done). Transfer to cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
3. Green Goddess Dressing: Whisk together ranch dressing and pesto in a small bowl.
4. Bowls: Divide grains between 2 large serving bowls. Arrange broccoli, edamame, cucumber and avocado on top of grains. Cut steaks across the grain into thin slices and place on top of bowls. Sprinkle with feta cheese and garnish with radishes, pumpkin seeds and microgreens, if desired. Serve with Green Goddess Dressing.
Notes
In place of the Flank steak, you can use Sirloin Tip, about ¾ inch (2 cm) thick and decrease grilling time to 6 to 8 minutes.
