This delightful marinated beef salad is best served warm, but works well as leftovers for lunch, cold or reheated. As written, it’s a little fancy, but it can be a great pantry-friendly recipe too. Play around with different fruits (fresh or canned in juice), olives, and greens to use up whatever you have on hand.
