Ingredients
- 1 beef top round steak, cut 3/4-inch thick (about 1 pound)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 cups asparagus pieces (2-inch pieces)
- 1 medium yellow squash, cut length wise in half, then crosswise into
- 1/4-inch thick slices
- 3 cups hot cooked brown rice

- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano

Directions
Combine marinadeĀ in small bowl. Place beef steak and 1/4 cup marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight. Reserve remaining marinade in refrigerator for dressing. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Place steak on rack in broiler pan so surface of beef is 2 to 3 inches from heat. Broil 12 to 13 minutes for medium rare doneness, turning once. Remove; keep warm. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add asparagus and squash; cook and stir 7 to 8 minutes or until tender. Toss with rice, tomatoes, beans, basil, salt and reserved marinade in large bowl. Carve steak into thin slices. Serve over rice salad.
