Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice the red peppers into thin strips.
- Halve the olives if not pre-halved.
- In a large bowl, combine the arugula with lemon juice. Toss well and set aside to marinate while you prepare the other components of the dish.
- Season the beef fillets with salt, pepper, and the chopped fresh thyme.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add a small amount of oil.
- Add the beef fillets to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.
- Once done, remove the steak from the skillet, place it on a plate, and cover with foil. Let it rest while you continue with the recipe.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced red peppers. Cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
- With the red peppers still in the skillet, pour in the red wine, vinegar, and sprinkle the brown sugar. Stir well.
- Let the mixture simmer until it reduces slightly and thickens, about 5 minutes.
- On a serving platter, arrange the marinated arugula.
- Scatter the halved olives over the arugula.
- Slice the rested steak into thin strips.
- Place the steak strips on top of the arugula and olive salad.
- Spoon the red pepper and red wine reduction over the steak.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- Serve immediately, allowing the flavors to meld, and enjoy your delicious Pan-Fried Steak with Rocket salad!
Tips:
- Ensure that your beef fillets are at room temperature before cooking to achieve an even sear.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or a cast-iron pan for the best results when searing the steak.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and juicy bite.
- Feel free to adjust the level of sweetness in the dish by modifying the amount of brown sugar based on your preference.
In conclusion, this pan-fried steak with rocket salad is an exquisite dish that’s relatively simple to prepare but offers a depth of flavor that’s sure to impress. Whether you’re cooking for a special occasion or simply craving a delicious meal, this recipe is a surefire winner. Enjoy your culinary creation!
