A final fox tip

If you want to make this dish vegetarian, you can substitute the steak for portobello mushrooms. To make the salad and marinade in advance, prepare them separately and store them in the fridge until ready to use. This dish would pair well with a glass of red wine, such as a French Bordeaux or Cotes du Rhone.
