Ingredients
Kosher Salt
1 1/4 teaspoons (divided)
Black Pepper
3/4 teaspoon (divided)
Sirloin Steak
1 lb (1 1/4-inch thick)
Olive Oil
2 teaspoons (for sautéing)
Mushrooms
8 ounces (sliced (any variety))
Beef Broth
1 cup (for cooking)
Dry Red Wine
1 cup (for cooking)
Garlic Cloves
2 (minced)
Baby Spinach Leaves
12 ounces ((12 cups) fresh)
Instructions
1
Begin by heating a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. While the skillet heats, season the sirloin steak on both sides with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, ensuring even coverage.
2
Once the skillet is hot, carefully place the seasoned steak in the pan. Cook for about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until it reaches a medium-rare doneness. After cooking, transfer the steak to a plate and cover it loosely to keep it warm.
3
In the same skillet, add 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 3 minutes, or until they are golden and tender. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set them aside, keeping them warm.
4
Increase the heat to high and carefully pour in 1 cup of beef broth and 1 cup of dry red wine. Add the minced garlic and let the mixture cook down, stirring occasionally, until it reduces to approximately 1/2 cup (about 10 minutes). Stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to season the broth.
5
While the broth is reducing, place the baby spinach in a large bowl. Once the broth mixture is ready, reserve 4 tablespoons of it to dress the spinach. Toss the spinach with the reserved broth until well coated.
6
Divide the dressed spinach among four plates as the base for your salad. Slice the warm steak against the grain and layer it atop the spinach, followed by the sautéed mushrooms. Finally, drizzle the remaining broth mixture over the assembled salad for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
