(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs. Denver, sirloin, or strip steak
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp. ground mixed peppercorns
  • 2 tbsp. sherry vinegar
  • 2 tsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 small shallot, minced
  • 5 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 lb. oyster or cremini mushrooms, trimmed and thickly sliced
  • 2 tsp Dijon
  • 5 oz. package mesclun salad mix
  • 1 cup fresh parsley
  • 2 oz. white cheddar cheese, shaved

Directions

  1. Season the steak on both sides with salt and then coat with the peppercorns. Whisk the vinegar and maple syrup in a large bowl and add the shallot; set aside.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tbsp. vegetable oil. Add the steak and cook, undisturbed, until a crust forms, 4-5 minutes per side, plus about 1 minute on each of the long edges. Transfer to a cutting board.

  3. While the steak cooks, heat a second large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tbsp. vegetable oil and the mushrooms; cook, undisturbed, until starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Toss, season with salt and continue cooking until well browned and tender, about 5 more minutes.

  4. Whisk the mustard into the shallot mixture, then whisk in the remaining 1 tbsp. vegetable oil. Add the mesclun, parsley and sautéed mushrooms and toss; season with salt.

  5. Divide the salad among plates and top with the cheese. Slice the steak and add to the plates.
