These recipes were so good! As always though, I wasn't able to follow the recipe. I added sesame oil, orange juice, lime juice and honey to the marinade. I think it would have been a bit too salty without those extra ingredients. I'm not a big soy sauce fan. For the salad, I added some orange, lime juice, coriander, red peppers, and cashews.
I also made some Chinese fried rice to serve with the steak. For dessert, we had some fresh berries with homemade whipped cream and shortbread cookies.
INGREDIENTS
(Makes 4 servings)
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
5 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger, divided
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 green onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons honey
juice of a lime
1/4 cup orange juice
1 1 1/2-pound flank steak
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1/4 cup orange juice
2 red jalapeños, thinly sliced into rounds
5 cups thinly sliced Napa cabbage (about 9 ounces)
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 cup cashews, chopped
3/4 cup chopped green onions, divided
1/4 chopped coriander
Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Mix soy sauce, oil, honey, lime juice, green onions, 3 teaspoons ginger, and garlic in resealable plastic bag. Add flank steak and seal bag; turn to coat. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
Stir sugar, orange juice and vinegar in small saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves; remove from heat. Add jalapeños and remaining 2 teaspoons ginger. Place cabbage, red peppers, cashews, cilantro and 1/2 cup green onions in medium bowl.
Pour vinegar mixture over and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Let stand while grilling steak, tossing occasionally. Drizzle a tiny bit of sesame oil before serving.
Grill steak until cooked to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to work surface. Let rest 10 minutes. Slice steak thinly against grain. Sprinkle 1/4 cup green onions over slaw.
Since it's the 4th of July today, I made a dessert with patriotic colors! (I'm not American, but I do love my neighbors)

It all looks so good! How cute that you made a patriotic dessert
Weren't you
surprised at how good the slaw was? I'll bet the cashews really added to it. Great idea!
1That looks SO, SO good. Will you adopt me?
2Yeah the slaw was really good. I normally like mine creamy but this one was the best ever. Linz, I'll adopt you. Do you mind moving to Norway?
3Oh wren, I also reduced the amount of sugar in the salad dressing. It would have been way too sweet with all that sugar. Thanks for the suggestion!
4Oh I got hungry.. YUM. Looks great
5Thanks, girls! I really like the dinner challenges, it's a lot of fun. I can't wait to know what the next recipes will be.
Who's volunteering? 
BTW, no one made the fish tacos?
6I love your American dessert.
I'm love my Canadian neighbors more now that I know some. 
That steak looks sooo good! I'll have to make it when I get home. My challenge will be late since I've been gone this past week.
7Awww! Thanks, Coco!
8I think I could swing Norway for food like this.
9I have a feeling I'm going to feel very lonely there, I could adopt all of you girls! You're all welcome to visit whenever you want!
10wow! this all looks SO good! Maybe I'll be in the mood to cook soon....hmmm.
11That does look good. I am thinking about making this next week when my MIL will be here. Yeah I know I am really late getting to this. How did you make that rice?
12Sorry I couldn't answer. It takes 3-6 weeks (more like 6) to get to Internet over here in Norway.
I used some rice that I had cooked the day before. I scrambled three eggs in a wok in some oil and then put them aside. I added the rice, sautéed it for a few minutes, added some
soy sauce, put the eggs back in and that was it. I added a few spring onions on top of the rice before serving.
13Hope you enjoy(ed) the steak as much as we did.
