Grilled Onion, Beef, And Sweet Potato Salad

Source: Cooking Light Annual Recipes 2004 - Cooking Light Magazine
This warm main-course salad is best served with bread to mop up delicious dressing. Grill the onion slices on skewers or in a grill basket so they won't fall apart when turned. If the sweet potatoes aren't tender by the time they've browned on the grill, microwave them at HIGH for 20-second intervals until they're done. You can also broil them in the oven on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray.
== Ingredients ==
* 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed
* 1 1/8 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided
* 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
* 1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
* 1 (1-pound) flank steak, trimmed
* 2 large white onions, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
* Cooking spray
* 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
* 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
* 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
* 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
* 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
* 1 teaspoon stone-ground mustard
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 4 cups trimmed arugula or baby spinach
