Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and slice the carrots into thin sticks or rounds.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, bring water to a boil and add the carrots. Boil them for about 5 minutes until they are tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.
- In the same saucepan, add 1 tablespoon of honey to the cooked carrots and toss well to coat evenly. Let them cool down.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Season the 1 lb of beef with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the beef to the pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer according to your preferred doneness.
- Once done, remove the beef from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of mustard, 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and the remaining olive oil to form the dressing.
- While the beef is resting, bring another pot of water to boil.
- Add the green beans and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Rinse and drain the canned lentils.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Thinly slice half of the red onion.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, green beans, honey-glazed carrots, lentils, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
- Drizzle the mustard-thyme dressing over the salad and toss well to ensure all the ingredients are coated.
- Divide the salad into serving plates.
- Place the sliced beef on top of the salad.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your mustard beef with honey carrot and bean salad!
Tips:
- Ensure the beef is sliced thinly and against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- If you prefer, you can roast the carrots for a deeper flavor instead of simply glazing them with honey.
- Toss the salad just before serving to keep the greens fresh and crisp.
- Feel free to substitute the canned lentils with cooked fresh lentils for a more homemade touch.
- You can add some crushed nuts or seeds to the salad for added crunch and nutrition.
