Ingredients

2 8-ounce beef eye round steaks

4 teaspoons dijon mustard

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

8 ounces white mushrooms, halved or quartered

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for topping

3 tablespoons low-fat sour cream

2 to 3 teaspoons brined green peppercorns, drained and chopped, plus 1 teaspoon brine from the jar

2 large romaine lettuce hearts, chopped

3 stalks celery, sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered

2 cups whole-wheat croutons

Directions

  1. Rub the steaks all over with 1 teaspoon mustard and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook until browned, 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board. Wipe out the skillet.
  2. Heat 1 more tablespoon olive oil in the skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until golden, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and continue to cook, stirring, until just soft, 3 more minutes.
  3. Whisk the parmesan, sour cream, 3 tablespoons water, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 3 teaspoons mustard, the green peppercorns and brine, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the mushrooms, lettuce, celery, tomatoes and croutons and toss. Cut the steak into bite-size pieces; add to the bowl and toss. Divide among plates and top with more parmesan.

This salad is good. To the people complaining about certain things, such as the steak was too tough, you have to learn how to modify your recipes. Just because you have food cooking instructions from a “professional “ doesn’t always mean that that is the correct way. Modify, modify, modify. Make it your own :)<br />I used capers in place of the peppercorns. I didn’t use celery. I decided that cucumber would be good. I got butter and herb croutons instead of using whole wheat. My husband prefers Dorthy Lynch dressing so he used that and myself and my son used ranch. Also, under cook your steak. Meat always cooks a bit more while resting. Thin slices against the grain of the meat work best for round or skirt streak.
