porcini-crusted beef with tomato checca / roasted broccoli / simple salad

Contents of your meal kit:

flank steak
roma tomato
garlic
basil
broccoli
porcini dust
red wine vinaigrette base
mixed greens

Cookware needed: mixing bowl, baking sheet, medium or large nonstick skillet, salad bowl

Finishing steps:

  1. Preheat oven to 425.
  2. While oven is preheating, make the checca sauce. Dice tomatoes, finely mince the garlic, tear the basil into pieces, and combine in a mixing bowl with salt & pepper. Set aside.
  3. On a baking sheet, toss broccoli with olive oil, salt & pepper. Roast 10 minutes, then toss and roast another 5-10 minutes. Continue with the next steps while broccoli is roasting.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat. Season both sides of beef with salt & pepper and porcini dust. When skillet is hot, add a small amount of oil, then cook steak 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. You should see a nice crust on both sides. Transfer to cutting board, tent with foil, and rest up to 10 minutes.
  5. Pour vinaigrette base into the bottom of a salad bowl and add an equal amount of olive oil. Whisk or mix with a fork to combine. If this looks like too much dressing remove some before adding the salad greens to the bowl.   Toss gently, and season with salt & pepper to taste.
  6. Serve porcini-crusted beef topped with a big spoonful of checca sauce. Enjoy the roasted broccoli and salad on the side.
