Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the steak on a large plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper on all sides.
  2. In a nonstick skillet, over high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the steak and cook 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium rare. Remove from pan and cover to keep warm.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-high and add the onion, tossing occasionally until crisp-tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the vinegar and cook 2 minutes more.
  5. In a large bowl, mix the watercress with the orange sections and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
  6. Divide the steak evenly among 4 shallow bowls and top with the glazed onions. Serve with the watercress and orange sections.

Quick Tip

Orange
For neat, clean orange rounds, cut both ends off an orange with a sharp serrated knife. Sit the orange on one flat end and slice off the remaining peel, following the curve of the fruit, from top to bottom. Slice as desired.

    Turnips

    Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
