Seared Steak With Chard Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Make sure your greens are very dry before preparing recipe. Also, wash and chop them when you come in from market, then they are ready for you to cook up even quicker.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and toss 2 minutes, then add chard in bunches and keep it moving as it wilts up a bit - you are just searing it up. The greens should remain crisp and crunchy. Wilting them all and searing them up should take no more than 3 to 4 minutes. Season the greens with nutmeg and salt and pepper, to taste. Douse the pan with a little vinegar and remove from heat. Toss to cook off vinegar and serve the greens hot.

Steps:

• In large saucepan plunge green beans into boiling water for 10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain. Cool.
• In medium bowl combine greens, tomatoes and salad dressing. Add green beans. Toss until combined. Arrange on serving plate.
• In small bowl stir together cumin, salt and pepper. Rub on both sides of beef. In small nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray cook steak over medium heat for 9 to 12 minutes or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet. Cut steak across grain into thin slices. Arrange on top of greens mixture.
• Sprinkle lemon juice over steak. Top salad with onion and cheese.
• MAKE IT A MEAL:.
• -One 2 1/2-inch whole wheat dinner roll.
• -1 medium nectarine (about 1 cup sliced) topped with 1 container (6 ounces) low-fat vanilla yogurt and sprinkled with nutmeg.
• -Iced tea with lemon wedge.

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a pan of simmering water for 5 mins. Add the beans and cook 5 mins more, then tip in the peas and cook for 2 mins until all the vegetables are just tender. Drain.
• Meanwhile, measure all the dressing ingredients in a large bowl and season with black pepper. Stir and crush the herbs and capers with the back of a spoon to intensify their flavours.
• Brush a little oil over the steak and grind over some black pepper. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a high heat and cook the steak for 4 mins on one side and 2-3 mins on the other, depending on the thickness and how rare you like it. Transfer to a plate to rest while you carry on with the rest of the salad.
• Mix the warm vegetables into the dressing until well coated, then add the lettuce and toss again. Pile onto plates. Slice the steak and turn in any dressing left in the bowl, add to the salad and serve while still warm.
