Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef sirloin steak
- 3 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 5 cups Arugula
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Honey
- 0.25 tsp Red chili flakes
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide, for even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the beef strips into the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef strips and cook for 3-5 minutes until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Lower the heat to medium and toss in the arugula. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted but still bright green.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar over the sautéed arugula and sprinkle with red chili flakes for a hint of heat. Stir gently to coat.
Serve the sautéed arugula on a platter or individual plates, topping it with the cooked beef strips. Add an extra drizzle of balsamic vinegar, if desired, for more flavor.
Enjoy immediately while hot.
