Ingredients

• 1.5 pound top sirloin steak (lean, sliced into thin strips)
• 1 pound green beans (trimmed)
• 2 tablespoon olive oil (divided)
• 4 clove garlic (minced)
• 0.25 cup sun-dried tomatoes (drained and sliced)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt (divided)
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

Instructions

1. Season the sliced top sirloin steak with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips in a single layer and sear for 3 to 4 minutes until deeply browned on the outside and reaching an internal temperature of 145°F. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the green beans, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and steam for 4 to 5 minutes until crisp-tender.
4. Uncover the skillet, stir in the minced garlic and sliced sun-dried tomatoes, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Return the seared beef and any resting juices back to the skillet, tossing everything together for 1 minute to warm through. Remove from heat and top with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

Slicing the steak across the grain ensures maximum tenderness during high-heat searing.
