WARM STEAK AND SWEET POTATO SALAD WITH ORANGE-CHUTNEY DRESSING image

Categories     Beef     Potato     Dinner

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon golden raisins
1 pound peeled sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
10 ounces well-trimmed lean beef sirloin or top round
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons mango chutney
2 teaspoons olive oil, preferably extra-virgin
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 1/2 cups (packed) watercress
1/2 cup sliced red onion

Steps:

  • 1. In a small saucepan, whisk the orange juice and cornstarch until blended. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour the hot orange juice into a glass measuring cup, stir in the raisins, and refrigerate until chilled (put the mixture in the freezer, if desired, to speed up the process). 2. Place the sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan, add water to cover, and bring to a boil covered over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain in a colander, return to the saucepan, and cover to keep warm. 3. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Rub the steak with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the red pepper flakes. Broil the steak 4 inches from the heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side for rare, or the desired doneness. Transfer the steak to a plate cover loosely with foil and let stand for 5 minutes before carving into thin slices. 4. Whisk the chilled, thickened orange juice with the chutney, olive oil, lemon juice, and the remaining 1/4 of the salt. 5. In a large salad bowl, place the watercress, onion, sweet potatoes, and steak slices. Pour the dressing over all and toss lightly to coat.

SWEET POTATO AND ORANGE SALAD



Sweet Potato and Orange Salad image

My daughter and I found this recipe several years ago, and since then it has become a regular on our Christmas menu. Strangely, this dish appeals especially to women. Women always return for seconds and request the recipe, while men may politely try a bite or two. We serve it mainly with chicken or turkey. With an apple or banana on the side, it also makes a filling and nutritious packed lunch. Somehow the sweet potato sticks by you so that you're not reaching for a snack at mid-afternoon.
