ROASTED SIRLOIN

CITRUS-BERRY DELIGHT

Roasted Sirloin: Press rosemary into both sides of sirloin steak.

Roast on rack in a shallow roasting pan in a 350 F oven 50-60 minutes or 16-20 minutes per pound. Remove roast when a meat thermometer inserted in center reaches 135 F for medium-rare. Let roast stand 10 minutes before carving into thin slices. Serve with either Cranberry-Jalapeno Salsa or Red Pepper Sauce recipes below.

Cranberry-Jalapeno Salsa: Blend cranberries, juice and sugar in food processor for 30-45 seconds. Transfer to saute pan and add remaining ingredients. Stir to mix. Let ingredients stand at least 30 minutes for flavors to blend. Warm sauce over low heat before serving. Do not boil. Salt to taste.

*NOTE: 7-oz. jar roasted red peppers may be used in place of 2 medium freshly roasted red peppers.

Red Pepper Sauce: Blend peppers, vinegar and salt in blender using pulse switch until coarsely chopped. Sauce may be served at room temperature or heated. To roast peppers, broil 2" from heat, turning frequently, until skin bubbles and is evenly charred. Transfer peppers, to sealable plastic baggie, close and set aside until peppers cool. Peel charred skin from peppers. Remove seed.

Greens with Walnut Vinaigrette: Combine vinegar and next 6 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well. Stir in walnuts; pour over field greens and toss gently.

Brown Rice: Follow package directions for 8 servings of your favorite brown rice, substituting beef broth for ½ the amount of liquid requited. Add ¼ cup green onions, thinly sliced. Salt & pepper to taste.

Wheat Roll

Citrus Berry Delight: Blend condensed milk and lime juice. Fold in whipped topping. Spoon into crust. Garnish.
