Pioneer Woman Cooks - Marinated Steak

I have been wanting to make a Cafe Rio Creamy Tomatillo Dressing for quite a while.  I finally stopped procrastinating when I saw this recipe for Marinated Flank Steak I know it would make a PERFECT salad!

I added the marinade to a Tri-tip instead of Flank Steak only because it was a sale at my grocery store and it was such a good deal that I could not pass it up!  I would love to make this again for some soft tacos I think it would be delish!  This salad was a home-run!  The combination of the spicy dressing with smokey tri-tip was wonderful.  I added some corn tortilla chips that I baked in the oven and Queso Fresco to make a delicious combination.  I got the smallest tri-tip at the store but still had enough left over for both of us to have salads for lunch the next day and I made some nachos for dinner.  Love it!
