Beef Steak With Carrots and Mint
A winning combination - a cool, crisp salad with a hot, juicy steak
Ingredients
For steak:
4 beef top sirloin steaks, lean (3 oz each)
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
½ Tbsp olive oil
For salad:
1 C carrots, rinsed and grated
1 C cucumber, rinsed, peeled, and sliced
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp fresh mint, rinsed, dried, and shredded (or ½ Tbsp dried)
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
½ C orange juice
- For the steaks, preheat grill pan or oven broiler (with the rack 3 inches from heat source) on high temperature.
- For the salad, combine all the ingredients in a bowl, and mix gently. Marinate salad for at least 5–10 minutes to blend flavors before serving. (Salad can be made up to 3 hours in advance and refrigerated.)
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper, and lightly coat with oil.
- Grill or broil 2–3 minutes on each side, or to your desired doneness (to a minimum internal temperature of 145 ºF).
- Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Serve one 3-ounce steak with ½ cup salad on the side.
