Ingredients:

6 garlic cloves
18g
5 tbsp olive oil
70g
2 mushrooms
170g
8 oz beef fillet
230g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g
2 tbsp vinegar
33g
1 tsp lemon juice
5g
2 cups arugula
40g
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes
18g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
2. Marinate the Steak:
- Place the beef fillet in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it. Make sure the steak is well coated. Reserve the other half of the marinade for the mushrooms.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
3. Grill the Steak:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off.
- Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
- Remove from grill, cover with foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly.
4. Cook the Mushrooms:
- While the steak is resting, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and golden brown.
- Pour the reserved marinade over the mushrooms and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
6. Assemble the Salad:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the arugula and sun-dried tomatoes.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
7. Combine Everything:
- Arrange the arugula and sun-dried tomato salad on a serving platter.
- Top with the grilled steak slices and cooked mushrooms.
8. Serve:
- Serve immediately while the steak and mushrooms are still warm. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Ensure the beef fillet is at room temperature before grilling to promote even cooking.

- Preheat your grill or grill pan; a hot cooking surface will sear the meat quickly, locking in its juices.

- Do not overcrowd the mushrooms in the pan; cook them in batches if necessary to achieve a beautiful golden-brown sear.

- Toss the arugula lightly with the dressing just before serving to keep the leaves crisp and vibrant.

- You can briefly soak sun-dried tomatoes in hot water if they are too tough, making them more tender and easier to chew.

- Rest the grilled steak for a few minutes before slicing to retain its juiciness and ensure even distribution of the juices.

- Feel free to add other fresh veggies or toppings, such as cherry tomatoes, roasted bell peppers, or shaved Parmesan, to suit your preferences.

Your Tomato and Arugula Salad with Grilled Steak and Mushrooms is now ready to serve. The tantalizing blend of grilled beef, savory mushrooms, and fresh arugula combined with the tangy notes of sun-dried tomatoes and a flavorful dressing makes this dish an absolute crowd-pleaser.
