Beef strips with radicchio

How to make Beef strips with radicchio recipe

Serves 4

Preparation time 5 minutes, Cooking time 5 minutes

Ingredients:
3 sirloin steaks, about 300 g (10 oz) each
½ tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
150 g (5 oz) radicchio, sliced into 2.5 cm (1 inch) strips
salt

Method:
Trim the fat from the steaks and slice the meat into very thin strips.

Heat the oil in a heavy-based frying pan over a high heat, add the garlic and steak strips, season with salt and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until the steak strips are golden brown.

Add the radicchio and stir-fry until the leaves are just beginning to wilt. Serve immediately.

For beef & caramelized onion couscous salad, brush 750 g (1½ lb) beef fillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then sprinkle well with pepper. Heat a nonstick frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the beef for 4 minutes on each side or until seared all over but still rare inside.

Remove from the pan and leave to rest. To make the onion couscous, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the pan over a medium heat, add 4 sliced onions and fry, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes or until softened.

Meanwhile, put 375 g (12 oz) couscous in a heatproof bowl and pour over 600 ml (1 pint) boiling chicken or beef stock. Cover and leave to stand for 5 minutes or according to the packet instructions, until the stock has been absorbed, then fluff up with a fork.

Mix together 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, a little olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon and salt and pepper and toss with the couscous and onions. Slice the beef and place on top of the couscous. Serve with some rocket leaves on the side.
