Elevate salad with succulent steak as the centerpiece.
Ingredients:
  • 4.60 gm olive oil
  • 1 red onion, halved, each half cut into 3 wedges
  • 1 bunch asparagus, woody ends trimmed, cut into 5cm lengths
  • 4 small (about 150g each) beef fillet steaks, excess fat trimmed
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) cranberry juice
  • 40.00 ml red wine vinegar
  • 23.40 gm wholegrain mustard
  • 1 bunch watercress, sprigs picked, washed, dried
Instructions:
  • In a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat, heat the oil. Cook the onion, cut-side down, for 1 minute on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the asparagus. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes until the asparagus is vibrant green and crisp-tender. Transfer to the bowl with the onion.
  • Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Sear for 4 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until cooked to your desired level. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Saute garlic in the pan until fragrant. Pour in cranberry juice and bring to a boil. Simmer until reduced by half, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and whisk in vinegar and mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Slice steaks thinly with the grain. Toss beef, onion, asparagus, and watercress together in a bowl. Divide mixture among plates and generously drizzle with dressing. Serve promptly.
