- Combine ingredients for dressing in a small bowl.
- Remove 1/4 cup for marinating flank steak; set aside.
- Marinate steak in 1/4 cup dressing for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Chill if marinating the steak longer than 30 minutes, otherwise it may be marinated at room temperature.
- Prepare ingredients for salad, keeping components separate.
- Heat oil for searing the steak in a large nonstick skillet over high heat.
- Remove steak from marinade (discard the excess); season with salt and pepper.
- Sear steak on both sides until medium-rare, 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer meat to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then thinly slice steak against the grain with a sharp knife.
- To assemble, layer half the greens in a deep glass bowl (a 12-cup trifle bowl is perfect).
- On the lettuce, layer half of each of the tomatoes, cheese, chips, beans, cilantro, scallions, and steak slices.
- Drizzle with half the dressing, then layer the rest of the ingredients.
- Pile the other half of the steak slices in the center, and drizzle remaining dressing on top.
- Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and serve.
- Makes about 10 cups.
