Cook Mode

Ingredients:

  • 1 beef Top Sirloin Steak Boneless, cut 1 inch thick (about 1-1/4 pounds)
  • 1 package (10 ounces) mixed salad greens
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Dressing:

  • 2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

Cooking:

Remove from skillet with slotted spoon.
