Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 tsp | Better Than Bouillon® Roasted Beef Base |
| 2 | strip loin steaks (each about 3/4-inch thick) |
| 1 tsp | freshly ground black pepper |
| ¼ tsp | garlic powder |
| 2 tbsp | unsalted butter |
| 1 sprig | fresh rosemary |
| 1 sprig | fresh thyme |
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 tsp | Better Than Bouillon® Roasted Beef Base |
| 2 tbsp | olive oil |
| 1 large | shallot, minced |
| ⅓ cup | lemon juice |
| 2 tsp | grainy mustard |
| ¼ tsp | dried oregano |
| 15 oz | cannellini (white kidney) beans, drained and rinsed |
| ½ large | red bell pepper, diced |
| 2 cups | sliced Persian cucumbers |
| 1 cup | halved cherry tomatoes |
| ¼ cup | chopped fresh parsley |
| 2 tbsp | chopped fresh cilantro |
| 2 tbsp | chopped fresh mint |
| 1 small | red chile, thinly sliced |
Directions
Pat steaks dry with paper towel. Rub each steak with Roasted Beef Base and season with pepper and garlic powder.
2. In large skillet set over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add steaks, rosemary and thyme. Cook, basting with pan juices and flipping once, for 6 to 10 minutes for medium-rare (or cook to preferred doneness). Transfer steaks to plate and let rest before slicing. Reserve skillet for beans.
Set reserved skillet over medium heat. Add oil, shallot and garlic. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until starting to soften. Add lemon juice, mustard, Roasted Beef Base and oregano; bring to a boil. Add cannellini beans and toss to combine with dressing. Cook for 1 minute, until beans are heated through.
4. Remove skillet from heat. Add red pepper, cucumbers, tomatoes, parsley, cilantro and mint; toss to combine. Transfer salad to serving platter. Top with steak slices and garnish with chile slices.
Tips: Alternatively, substitute strip loin steaks with hanger, flank or rib eye steaks, making sure to cook these steaks to medium-rare to maximize tenderness. Omit fresh chile and garnish salad instead with pinch of hot pepper flakes or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce.
