Recipe: Citrusy Spinach & Sirloin Salad

Cool, fresh salads make great summer meals, and this one pairs juicy sirloin steak with citrus, ginger, and spinach for a fresh, zesty, and satisfying lunch or light supper.

Citrus Embellished Spinach And Sirloin Salad
(Serves 4.)

Ingredients:

1 lb. top sirloin steak
salt and pepper to season
2 Tbsp cooking oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 grapefruit
1 orange
1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp freshly grated ginger root
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp honey
dash salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup good light olive oil
10 oz. baby spinach

Directions:
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of steak.
  • Put 2 Tbsp cooking oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil sizzles, add steak and sear on both sides quickly, then flip again and cook each side for 4 to 5 more minutes or until steak is done to your liking.
  • Remove steak from pan to cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • While the steak is resting, peel and segment the grapefruit and orange over a large bowl to save the juices, putting the fruit aside in another bowl. 
  • Into the bowl with the juice collected from the fruit, add vinegar, garlic, ginger, mustard, honey, and a dash of salt and pepper to taste, and whisk until combined. Continue whisking while slowly drizzling oil into the mixture.
  • Slice the rested steak very thin against the grain and at a diagonal.
  • Make salad by tossing together the spinach, fruit, together with dressing, then top with steak and toss gently.
  • Serve immediately.
