Grilled steak on garlic-flavored bread smothered with caramelized onions and mushrooms and topped with spicy arugula makes a tasty, all-in-one meal.

Simply grilled steak on garlic-flavored country bread smothered with caramelized onions and mushrooms and topped with spicy arugula makes a tasty, all-in-one meal. It’s a steak and salad dinner that’s perfect for a summer meal. Add a few tomato slices on the side.

The steak is great on a grill, but also works sauteed in a skillet. Tenderloin is a lower fat cut of beef, but skirt steak, flank steak or any quick cooking steak can be used.

Cooking tips: It’s best to cook steak when it is at room temperature. For a juicier steak, let it rest 10 minutes before carving.

This meal contains 626 calories per serving with 32 percent of calories from fat.

Helpful hints

Any type of mushrooms can be used.

Use the same timing for steak if sauteing instead of grilling.
