For dinner in a hurry, this one is a great recipe. I actually use it a lot when I'm dieting:) (It's low carb.) Just use less olive oil. Can you think of a healthier and tastier diet recipe?:)
According to Gourmet magazine this recipe is used in Italian bistros. I can see why it can be served in a restaurant. This one is a very versatile recipe, you can make so many changes to it with some additions or changes and it will still taste great.
Here are some ideas: If you feel like it, go ahead and add goat cheese. You can also make it a fresher tasting salad by adding some lemon (but keep the vinegar if you are using arugula).
If you don't have shallots handy, you can use onions. If you don't have arugula handy, you can use baby spinach. You can add some tomato slices with Parmesan. You can saute mushrooms and add to the steak, and then add it to the salad. You can even grab your favorite bread and make this salad into a sandwich. Not bad for a basic salad:)

SLICED STEAK WITH ARUGULA
Ingredients:
5 oz baby arugula
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, smashed
1 large sprig fresh rosemary
1 lb boneless top loin steak or sirloin (1 inch thick)
