2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp soy sauce
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp hot sauce
1 lb flank steak, trimmed
1 tbsp red wine vinegar

Cooking spray
5 cups (1/2”) cubed sourdough bread, toasted (about 8 oz)

Directions
To prepare beef, combine first 6 ingredients in a Ziploc bag. Add 1 tbsp red wine vinegar; seal bag. Marinate 2 hours.
To prepare salad, combine 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, onion and next 6 ingredients (through cucumber) in a large bowl. Cover and let stand at room temperature 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Prepare grill.
Remove steak from bag, discarding marinade. Place steak on grill rack, coated with cooking spray; grill 5 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut steak diagonally across grain into thin slices. Add bread and basil to cucumber mixture; toss well. Serve salad immediately with steak
