This is a wonderful salad for one. Double the ingredients and make it a romantic dinner for two. Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) boneless beef top sirloin steaks, 1/2 inch thick |
1/2 balsamic vinaigrette, with extra virgin olive oil dressing divided |
1 large red pepper, cut into 2-inch-wide strips |
1/2 lb fresh asparagus spear, cleaned (about 4 medium spears) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 (5 ounce) bag torn mixed salad greens (about 5 cups) |
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese |
Directions:
1. Place steak and 1/4 cup of the dressing in large resealable plastic bag; seal bag. Turn bag over several times to evenly coat steak with dressing. Refrigerate 30 minutes to marinate.
2. Preheat grill to medium heat. Remove steak from marinade; discard bag and marinade. Grill steak 5 to 10 minute on each side for medium doneness (160°F). Meanwhile, grill peppers and asparagus alongside the steak 5 to 7 minute or until crisp-tender, turning occasionally and brushing with the olive oil. Remove vegetables from grill; cut crosswise in half. Set aside. Remove steak from grill; cut across the grain into thin slices.
3. Place greens in large bowl. Add peppers, asparagus and remaining 1/4 cup dressing; toss to coat. Place on serving platter. Top with the steak slices; sprinkle with cheese.
