Seared Sirloin with Red Wine Mushroom Jus, Roasted Rainbow Carrots & Baby Kale
This is the richer, more luxurious dinner of the set: seared beef sirloin sliced over a glossy red wine mushroom jus with roasted carrots and a warm wilt of spring greens. It feels steakhouse-fancy without crossing the one-hour line, and the plate has real contrast—deep browns, vivid greens, and jewel-toned carrots.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Pat 1 Beef Top Sirloin Steak, 12 OZ dry with paper towels. Season it all over with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and plenty of black pepper. Let it stand at room temperature while you prepare the vegetables.
- Place 8 ounces Organic Rainbow Carrots, halved lengthwise if thick, on a sheet pan. Toss the carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a generous pinch of salt, and black pepper. Roast for 22 to 28 minutes, turning once, until tender and caramelized on the cut sides.
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Sear the seasoned sirloin steak for about 3 to 4 minutes on the first side and 3 minutes on the second side for medium-rare, adjusting for thickness. Add 1 tablespoon butter in the last minute and baste the steak. Transfer the steak to a board to rest at least 8 minutes.
- Reduce the skillet heat to medium. Add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, 1 large thinly sliced Organic Shallot, and 2 minced cloves Organic Garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add 1 package 365 Mushroom Baby Bella Slcd 8Oz Cv and a pinch of salt. Sauté 5 to 7 minutes until the mushrooms give up their liquid and start to brown.
- Add 1/2 cup dry red wine to the mushrooms and scrape up the browned bits from the skillet. Simmer until the wine reduces by about half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 3/4 cup beef stock and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Simmer 3 to 4 minutes until lightly thickened and glossy.
- Add 1/2 package Whole Foods Market, Organic Baby Kale, 5 oz to the mushroom sauce. Toss for 30 to 60 seconds until just wilted but still bright green. Squeeze in a little juice from 1/2 Organic Lemon to lift the sauce. Taste and adjust with salt and black pepper.
- Slice the rested sirloin across the grain into neat slices. If juices have collected on the board, stir them into the mushroom jus.
- To plate, swoosh or spoon the mushroom-kale jus onto each warm plate, fan the sliced beef over it, and arrange the roasted rainbow carrots to one side for color contrast. Finish with black pepper and a tiny drizzle of olive oil over the carrots for shine. Serve hot.
