Ingredients
- 1½ lb New York strip steak
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 18 oz broccoli florets
- 2 count yellow bell peppers
- 1/2 cup low-sodium stir-fry sauce
- 10 oz spring mix
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Steps
- Pat the steak dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak 4-5 minutes per side until it reaches 145°F. Rest at least 3 minutes.
- In the same skillet, add the broccoli and 1/4 cup water, cover, and steam 3-4 minutes until bright green.
- Uncover, add the sliced bell peppers, and cook 2 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup stir-fry sauce and toss to coat.
- Whisk the remaining stir-fry sauce with the remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil to make a dressing.
- Slice the steak thinly against the grain. Toss the spring mix with half the dressing, top with the warm vegetables and steak, drizzle with the rest, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Picky eater tip: serve the plain sliced steak and raw or steamed broccoli with the dressing on the side.
- Make ahead: slice the peppers and mix the dressing up to 2 days ahead. Keep the cooked steak and vegetables separate from the greens in the fridge.
On the side: Steamed rice (20 min)
1 cup long grain white rice
- Rinse the rice. Bring twice as much water as rice to a boil with a pinch of salt, stir in the rice, cover and simmer on low for 18 minutes.
- Take it off the heat, keep the lid on 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
