Chef Beorn's Tri-Tip Salad image

I normally shy away from salads, but I wanted to create one that a "meat and potatoes" guy might like.

  • Sear other side for 1-2 mins and then with an oven mitt, carefully place the saute pan into the oven for about 4 minutes
  • Remove from oven and allow to rest 5 minutes.

  • Go ahead and put the salad in the bowls.
  • Now, in a saucepan, bring the coconut milk to a boil.
  • Add the cous cous and a pinch of salt.
  • Stir until liquid starts to get absorbed. Check for tenderness.
  • Strain and reserve the cous cous.
  • Reserve the coconut milk too.

  • Drizzle a little over each salad.
  • Now let's get back to the steaks.

  • Lay the slices over the top of each salad.
  • Just before serving, garnish with bell pepper (Red and Green) and red onion.
