GRILLED STEAK, MUSHROOM AND GREEN BEAN SALAD
Steps:
- 1. Heat grill to medium-high. In a large bowl, toss the mushrooms, green beans, onion, 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Season the steak with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. 2. Grill the vegetables (place the beans on the grill perpendicular to the grates to prevent them from falling through), turning occasionally and removing them as they become tender, 8 to 12 minutes. At the same time, grill the steak, brushing occasionally with 2 tablespoons of the vinegar, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. 3. Divide the watercress, grilled vegetables, and steak among bowls. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of vinegar.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them.
- Trim the green beans: Remove the tough ends of the beans before cooking.
- Blanch the green beans: This will help to preserve their color and crunch.
- Use a variety of mushrooms: This will add flavor and texture to the salad.
- Sauté the mushrooms: This will help to bring out their flavor.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld.
- Toss the salad just before serving: This will help to prevent the greens from wilting.
