Ingredients:
Instructions:
a. Pat the beef fillets dry with a paper towel.
b. Rub the fillets with 2 teaspoons of black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.
a. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it’s shimmering.
a. Add the beef fillets to the hot skillet.
b. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
c. Once cooked, remove the fillets from the skillet and let them rest on a plate. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
a. Add a short spray of cooking spray oil to the same skillet.
b. Add the 2 cups of cherry tomatoes to the pan.
c. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and softened.
a. While the tomatoes are cooking, arrange the 5 cups of arugula on a large serving platter or individual plates.
a. Place the beef fillets on top of the arugula.
b. Spoon the blistered cherry tomatoes over the beef and arugula.
a. Serve immediately while the beef is still warm.
Tips:
- Allow the beef fillets to come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check that the beef reaches your desired doneness (e.g., 130°F for medium-rare).
- To get a perfect sear on the beef, make sure the skillet is hot before adding the fillets.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet; cook the beef in batches if necessary to maintain high heat and achieve a good sear.
- Let the beef rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar to the arugula for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
In just a few steps, you’ve created a visually appealing and delicious meal that's full of robust flavors and different textures.
