Ingredients
5-6 oz. fresh spinach leaves 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 garlic cloves, smashed 1 large sprig of rosemary 1 lb. boneless top sirloin steak (about 1 inch thick) Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 large shallot, thinly sliced 6 shiitake mushrooms, sliced 1-1/2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1-1/2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
Directions
Mound the spinach on individual salad plates.
Heat the olive oil with the garlic and rosemary in a large 12-inch skillet over high heat, turning the garlic and rosemary over once or twice, until the garlic is golden, about 4 minutes. Discard the garlic cloves and rosemary.
Meanwhile, cut the steak crosswise into 1/8-inch thick slices and toss with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the meat to the skillet all at once and sauté over high heat for about 3 minutes or until browned and just cooked through. Arrange the steak with tongs over the greens.
Add the shallots and mushrooms to the skillet along with the vinegars; sauté for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pour the dressing over the steak and serve immediately.
