Ingredients
- Sirloin steak
- Spinach
- Tomato
- Onion
- Olive oil
- Balsamic vinegar
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 4 sirloin steaks, 8 cups of fresh spinach, 2 medium tomatoes, 1 medium onion, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
- Take the sirloin steaks out of the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes. This helps in achieving an even cook.
- While the steaks are resting, prepare the salad. Slice the tomatoes into wedges and the onion into thin rings. In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes and onions.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar over the tomato-onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine and set aside.
- Next, prepare the spinach. In a large pot, bring about 1 inch of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the spinach and cover the pot. Steam the spinach for about 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Remove from heat and drain any excess water.
- Return to the steaks. Season both sides of the sirloin steaks generously with salt and pepper.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks to the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them.
- Flip the steaks using tongs and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your steak more well done.
- Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat.
- While the steaks are resting, drizzle the remaining olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the steamed spinach. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
- To serve, place a portion of the steamed spinach on each plate, top with a sirloin steak, and add a generous helping of the tomato-onion salad on the side.
- Enjoy your grilled sirloin steak with steamed spinach and tomato-onion salad!
Tips
- Room Temperature Steaks: Allow your sirloin steaks to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before grilling. This helps them cook more evenly and enhances their flavor.
- Perfectly Seasoned: Don’t skimp on the salt and pepper! Generously season both sides of the steaks to enhance their natural flavors.
- Grill Temperature: Ensure your grill or grill pan is preheated to medium-high heat. This will give your steaks a beautiful sear while keeping the inside juicy.
- Resting Time: After grilling, let your steaks rest for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender bite.
- Spinach Steaming: When steaming the spinach, keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking. Just 2-3 minutes is enough to wilt it perfectly while maintaining its vibrant color and nutrients.
- Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh tomatoes and onions for the salad to maximize flavor and texture. The freshness will contrast beautifully with the rich steak.
- Balsamic Balance: Adjust the amount of balsamic vinegar in the salad and spinach to suit your taste. A little drizzle goes a long way in enhancing the dish's overall flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra touch, consider adding some crumbled feta cheese or a sprinkle of nuts to your salad for added texture and flavor.
