- In a bowl toss together spinach, mushrooms. and basil leaves. Divide mixture among four serving plates. Top with beef strips; add orange sections. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with almonds.
If you are cooking your own beef, start with 1 to 1% pounds boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut 1 inch thick. Preheat broiler. Place steak on the unheated rack of a broiler pan and broil 3 to 4 inches from heat to desired doneness, turning once halfway through broiling. Allow 15 to 17 minutes for medium-rare doneness (145°F) or 20 to 22 minutes for medium doneness (160°F).
