Ingredients

• 1 filet mignon, about 1 inch thick (8 ounces)
• 1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 1 large sweet potato
• 4 medium white button mushrooms, stems trimmed and sliced
• 2 scallions, thinly sliced
• 2 cups mixed baby greens

Method

1. Coat the steak with pepper on all sides and press the pepper into the meat.
Coat a small skillet in cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add the
steak and cook until seared and nicely browned, about 4 minutes, flip and
cook for another 5 minutes over medium. Remove from the pan and set aside
to cool to room temperature.
2. Meanwhile, puncture the sweet potato in a few places with a knife or fork
and place in the microwave on high for 5 minutes, turn and heat for another 5
minutes.
3. Add the baby greens to a large salad bowl. Once the steak and potatoes
have cooled, cut the steak into slices and the potato into chunks. Scatter the
mushrooms and potatoes over the greens, then add the steak and top with
scallions. Divide into 2 equal portions and top with dressing of your choice.
