Italian Meat Salad

Ingredients

Olive Oil - 2 tablespoons

Beef - 17.6 oz
Pesto - 3 tablespoons
Canned White Asparagus - 3.5 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Pat the meat dry with a paper towel, then season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat and sear the meat for 5 minutes on each side for medium doneness (you can adjust the time based on your preference).

Step 2

In a small bowl, sprinkle the pesto with freshly ground black pepper and dilute it slightly with water to create a liquid dressing. Combine the salad greens (a large bunch), tomatoes, and artichokes in a large salad bowl, drizzle with most of the dressing, and toss.

Step 3

Transfer the meat from the skillet to a cutting board and let it rest for five minutes, then slice it into strips. Add the strips to the salad, drizzle with the remaining dressing, and if desired, add a bit more olive oil. Top the salad with pine nuts and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
