Simply grilled steak on garlic-flavored county bread smothered with caramelized onions and mushrooms and topped with spicy arugula makes a tasty, all-in-one meal. It’s a steak and salad dinner that’s perfect for a summer meal. Add a few tomato slices on the side.
The steak is great on a grill, but also works sautéed in a skillet. Tenderloin is a lower fat cut of beef, but skirt steak, flank steak or any quick cooking steak can be used.
Cooking tips: It’s best to cook steak when it is at room temperature. For a juicier steak, let it rest 10 minutes before carving.
This meal contains 626 calories per serving with 32 percent of calories from fat.
