Topped with juicy slices of sirloin steak, this spinach salad is hearty enough to stand alone as a main dish. Top with crumbled Roquefort cheese and serve with your favorite crusty garlic bread. Ingredients:
1 (1 1/2-pound) top sirloin steak |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper |
1 teaspoon butter, divided |
1 teaspoon olive oil, divided |
2 medium portobello mushroom caps, sliced (about 1 1/2 cups) |
2 teaspoons minced garlic |
1/2 cup red wine |
1/2 cup beef broth |
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar |
1 (6-ounce) package baby spinach |
2 plum tomatoes, sliced |
1 small red onion, thinly sliced |
1/2 lemon |
1/3 cup crumbled roquefort cheese |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle steak evenly with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Melt 1/2 teaspoon butter with 1/2 teaspoon oil. Add steak, and cook until well browned on one side, about 6 minutes. Turn steak, and cook 3 more minutes (rare), 4 minutes (medium-rare), or 5 minutes (medium). Remove steak from pan, and set aside.
3. Melt remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter with 1/2 teaspoon oil in skillet over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms and garlic 4 minutes. Stir in wine, broth, and balsamic vinegar, stirring to loosen particles from bottom of skillet. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and cook 4 to 5 minutes.
4. Toss together spinach, tomatoes, onion, and hot mixture in pan; divide evenly between 4 plates. Squeeze lemon, drizzling juice evenly over top.
5. Cut steak into 1/2-inch slices, and arrange over salads. Sprinkle cheese evenly over top.
