The greatest beef dishes begin with the proper approach. For weeknight cooking, that normally means skipping the low and gradual roast and sticking with skinny cuts that do effectively with an excellent, fast sear.

So for this recipe from our e-book “COOKish,” which limits recipes to simply six substances with out sacrificing taste, we sear quick-cooking flat iron steak in a scorching skillet for a major course salad.

We use pomegranate molasses within the dressing for its fruity, tangy-sweet taste, which pairs effectively with the savory meat and peppery watercress. Toasted walnuts contribute texture and a slight bitterness that balances the intense pomegranate.

Be certain to take the time to finely chop the walnuts; damaged down into small items, the nuts higher cling to the greens, quite than fall to the underside of the bowl. We suggest bulking up this meal with heat, crusty bread, which is scrumptious for sopping up the steak juices that blend with the dressing.
