Garlic-Roasted Beef Sirloin Steaks with Asparagus and Hot Tomato Salad
- Four 1 1/4-inch-thick sirloin steaks
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary, or 1 tablespoon dried, crushed
- 12 to 16 thick asparagus spears, trimmed
- 6 to 8 paper-thin slices prosciutto, cut in half lengthwise
- 4 plum (Roma) tomatoes, quartered
- 8 medium cremini mushrooms or small portobello mushrooms, halved
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns
- Position the oven racks so that the top rack is 5 or 6 inches from the top of the oven.
- Place a ridged cast-iron grill pan on the top rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 500F.
- Once preheated, set the oven to convection roast or convection broil at 500F.
- Cover a shallow baking pan with foil and coat with nonstick spray for cooking the vegetables.
- Combine the olive oil, garlic, and rosemary and brush the steaks with this mixture.
- Set aside.
- Wrap the asparagus spears with the prosciutto and place them on the foil-covered baking pan.
- Brush them with some of the olive oil mixture.
- Toss the tomatoes and mushrooms with enough of the olive oil mixture to coat all the pieces lightly and put them on the baking sheet with the asparagus.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil mixture over all the vegetables and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place the pan in the center of the oven and roast for 10 minutes.
- Add the steaks to the preheated grill pan on the top rack of the oven.
- After 3 to 5 minutes turn the steaks and cook to your preferred doneness, 3 to 5 minutes longer.
- Remove the vegetables to a warm serving platter and cook the steaks until done to your liking.
- Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before carving.
- With a sharp knife, cut the steaks diagonally into thin slices.
