Beef Salad with Vinaigrette Dressing
Here’s an interesting lunch or light supper salad that uses cooked eye-of-round roast, such as leftovers from Tuscan Braised Beef (page 172), and your choice of two dressings. You can even use leftovers of the leftovers tomorrow—any extra salad makes a great filling for sandwiches.

Preparation
Step 1
Stack the arugula leaves on a cutting board. Cut them crosswise at 1-inch intervals. Or chop the baby greens. Arrange on salad plates.
Step 2
Cut the beef slices into 1 x 1/2-inch strips. Arrange on the arugula. Sprinkle with the remaining salad ingredients.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, and garlic. Slowly whisk in the oil. Pour over the salad.
Beef Salad with Horseradish Dressing
Step 4
Prepare the salad as directed, substituting 4 medium radishes, thinly sliced, for the red onion and capers. Instead of the vinaigrette dressing, whisk together 1/2 cup fat-free plain yogurt; 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise; 1 teaspoon grated onion or onion juice, or to taste, and 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons bottled white horseradish, drained.
Cook’s Tip on Beef Yield
Step 5
Beef shrinks about 25 percent when it cooks. To get 12 ounces of cooked meat, start with 1 pound.
