: 1-1 1/2 lbs beef sirloin sliced against the grain into 1/4 inch strips
: 4 TBS extra virgin olive oil
: Salt and freshly ground pepper
: 3 TBS balsamic vinegar (not cheap sugar added stuff)
: 1 TBS chopped fresh rosemary, plus a little extra
: Large bunch arugula, clean and rough chopped
: Grana cheese or shaved parmesan for garnish (I went a bit heavy with
: strips of this)
: Pine nuts for garnish (I lightly toasted them)
: Halved grape or grape kumato tomatoes (optional, my addition to recipe)


: Put meat in a bowl and drizzle with 1 TBS of the EVOO, 1 TBS of rosemary
: and salt and fresh ground pepper. Let rest for one hour at room temp

: In a large skillet, heat 3 TBS of EVOO over med/high heat. When hot,
: toss in the meat and balsamic vinegar, and brown the meat quickly on all
: sides so med rare.

: Remove meat to a heated platter, reduce sauce over med/high for about 5
: minutes, then season with remaining bit of rosemary and salt and pepper
: to taste.

: Arrange tomato halves around outer rim of platter with arugula, arrange
: cooked beef slices atop arugula, then grana/parmesan, then pine nuts.
: Drizzle the balsamic sauce from the pan over the salad.

: Great summer meal. Wendy, you could easily enjoy this without the cheese.
