Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, and the remaining olive oil until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 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.
- 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.
