Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For beef
1/4 cup coarse-grain mustard
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
2 1/4 teaspoons packed dark brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
1 (1-lb) trimmed beef tenderloin roast, tied
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For salad
1 small red onion (1/4 lb), thinly sliced
1/2 lb wax or green beans, cut diagonally into 2-inch pieces
4 oz baby arugula (4 cups)
For dressing
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Prepare beef:
  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Stir together mustards, brown sugar, pepper, and lemon zest.
  • Pat beef dry and season generously with salt. Heat oil in a heavy skillet over moderately high heat until just beginning to smoke, then brown beef on all sides, about 2 minutes total.
  • Transfer to an oiled shallow baking pan and coat with mustard mixture.
  • Roast beef in middle of oven until a thermometer inserted 2 inches into thickest part of meat registers 125°F for medium-rare, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand until cool, at least 45 minutes.
  • Prepare salad while beef is roasting:
  • Chill onion slices in water to cover 30 minutes. Cook beans in boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain beans in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking, then transfer to a large bowl. Add arugula to beans. Drain onion slices and pat dry.
  • Make dressing and toss salad:
  • Whisk together vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
  • Cut beef into thin slices.
  • Add onion slices, beef, and enough dressing to arugula and beans to just coat and toss to combine well.
