Ingredients:

2 beef fillets
400g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
1 cup green beans
230g
1.50 cups mixed greens (or salad mix)
100g
1/2 cup scallions
60g
1 tbsp mustard
16g
2 tbsp vinegar
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef Fillets:
- Season the beef fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Allow them to sit at room temperature for about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, sear the beef fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of about 130-135°F (54-57°C).
- Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
2. Blanch the Green Beans:
- While the beef is cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Immediately transfer the green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
3. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, and the remaining olive oil until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Assemble the Salad:
- In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, blanched green beans, and sliced scallions.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
5. Serve:
- Arrange the salad on serving plates and top with sliced beef fillets.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy your refreshing Summer Beef Salad!

Tips:

- Choose high-quality beef fillets for the best taste and tenderness.

- Blanch the green beans briefly to retain their crispness and bright color.

- Allow the beef fillets to rest after cooking to ensure they remain juicy.

- Toss the salad gently to avoid bruising the mixed greens.

- Adjust the amount of mustard and vinegar in the dressing according to your taste preference.
