Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces green beans, trimmed
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
4 carrots, thinly sliced
2 small russet potatoes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
11/2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound sirloin steak (about 1/2 inch thick), trimmed of excess fat
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 head romaine lettuce, thinly sliced
3 heads Belgian endive, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the green beans and onion on 1 baking sheet and the carrots and potatoes on another; toss each with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender and crisp, about 12 minutes for the beans and onion, and about 20 minutes for the carrots and potatoes.
  • Sprinkle the steak with the Italian seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak; cook 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
  • Let the skillet cool slightly, then add the vinegar, the remaining 1/2 tablespoon mustard and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits, about 1 minute.
  • Toss the romaine and endive with the roasted vegetables and all but 1 tablespoon of the vinegar mixture in a large bowl. Slice the steak; serve over the salad. Drizzle with the reserved vinegar mixture.

MEXICAN-STYLE VEGETABLE SALAD



Mexican-Style Vegetable Salad image

I love beans, rice, and calabacitas as much as the next person, but sometimes you want something lighter. This is perfect.

Provided by JeriBinNC

Categories     Vegetable

Time 12m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs ripe tomatoes (4 medium to large)
2 cups frozen corn kernels
1/2 medium red onion (use the whole onion if flavor is very mild)
2 cucumbers, peeled and halved lengthwise
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 lime, juice of
1 garlic clove, minced
2 -4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon pureed chipotle chile
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
2 roasted red peppers, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch-wide strips (for garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut the tomatoes vertically into 8 to 12 wedges each, depending on their size (or simply chop). Thaw the frozen corn in a colander. Slice the onion as thinly as possible. Seed the cucumbers and slice into 1/8-inch-thick slices.
  • To make the dressing, crush the garlic into a paste on a cutting board with the side of a chef's knife, or use a mortar and pestle. Combine the garlic, minced chiles, chipotle puree, and cilantro with the lime juice.
  • Place all the vegetables in a large bowl. Just before serving, drizzle the dressing over the top and stir gently to mix. Top with roasted pepper strips.
  • ** Look for chipotle chilies canned in adobo sauce. Puree the whole can and store in a jar in the refrigerator. They keep quite a while and are perfect for jazzing up all manner of foods. Use sparingly, though -- it's hot!
