Ingredients:

4 (6-ounce) pieces of beef tenderloin steak, 1-inch thick
Salt and pepper
Vegetable oil cooking spray
1 head broccoli, stem trimmed of fiberous skin, cut in florets and stem cut into chunks
1 sack mixed baby greens, 6 to 8 ounces
1 red bell pepper, seeded and very thinly sliced
4 scallions, sliced on an angle, 1-inch pieces
1 cup pea pods, sliced on an angle
1 cup shredded carrots
8 hot cherry peppers or pepperoncini, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves, optional

Dressing:
1/4 cup duck sauce or sweet and sour sauce
1-inch ginger root, finely chopped
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar or white vinegar
1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Cooking Recipe:

Preheat grill pan over high heat. Season steak with salt and pepper. Spray grill pan with cooking spray. Grill meat 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare to medium well doneness. Remove meat and let stand 10 minutes.

In a pan, bring 1-inch of water (tap water should be fine unless the recipe calls for bottled water) to a bubble. Add a pinch of salt and broccoli pieces and steam for 3 to 5 minutes, until cooked but still firm. In the sink, drain broccoli in colander and run cold water over it to cool.

Arrange greens on large platter or individual dinner plates. Arrange broccoli and veggies on greens. Combine duck (quack quack) or sweet and sour sauce with ginger, lime juice, vinegar, crushed pepper flakes. Whisk in oil. Slice steaks and arrange on salad (can be eaten with a full meal or just by itself as a meal) and drizzle completed dish with dressing. Season with additional salt and pepper.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes, cored and quartered
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely diced
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 pounds freshly ground beef, top sirloin or top round
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Four rolls

Cooking Recipe:

To prepare the ketchup: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the tomatoes in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until soft.
Transfer the tomatoes to a food processor and process until smooth. Strain the tomatoes, pressing against the solids with a wooden spoon to extract as much pulp and juice as possible.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and saute the onions and garlic until translucent. Add the tomato puree and remaining ingredients and continue cooking, uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until thick.
To prepare the burgers: Shape the meat firmly into 4 round uniform patties about 1 1/2-inches thick. Brush both sides of the burgers lightly with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat until just smoking. Cook the burgers until done to your preference, 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium rare etc.
