Beef Teriyaki With Cucumber Salsa image

This is a nice light red meat recipe. It is very low fat, I would recommend using lean cuts of beef in smallish serving sizes. It is incredibly quick once you have marinaded the steak, and the cucumber salsa can be prepared up to a day before. This makes quite a bit of salsa, we eat it on the side as well. Marinade time is not included in the time to make. As you can see in the picture, Bethany has elected to make this more family friendly by using flank steak. This is a nice variation on my more steak style version which would be easier if you were serving only a few people.
