1 boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut 1-inch thick (about 1 1/4 pounds)
3 cups each sliced Napa cabbage and romaine lettuce
1/2 cup each thinly sliced carrot, cucumber and radishes
1 cup hot cooked rice
24 pea pods, blanched

Marinade & Dressing:
3 tablespoons each dry sherry, reduced-sodium soy sauce and rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1 tablespoon each sugar and dark sesame oil

1. Combine sherry, soy sauce, vinegar, hoisin sauce and ginger in small bowl. Place beef steak and 1/3 cup marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 2 hours, turning once. For dressing, add 1/4 cup water, green onion, sugar and sesame oil to remaining marinade; mix well.
