Instructions:

Roasted Sirloin: Press rosemary into both sides of sirloin steak. Roast on
rack in a shallow roasting pan in a 350 F oven 50-60 minutes or 16-20
minutes per pound. Remove roast when a meat thermometer inserted in center
reaches 135 F for medium-rare. Let roast stand 10 minutes before carving
into thin slices. Serve with either Cranberry-Jalapeno Salsa or Red Pepper
Sauce recipes below.

Cranberry-Jalapeno Salsa: Blend cranberries, juice and sugar in food
processor for 30-45 seconds. Transfer to saute pan and add remaining
ingredients. Stir to mix. Let ingredients stand at least 30 minutes for
flavors to blend. Warm sauce over low heat before serving. Do not boil.
Salt to taste.

*NOTE: 7-oz. jar roasted red peppers may be used in place of 2 medium
freshly roasted red peppers.

Red Pepper Sauce: Blend peppers, vinegar and salt in blender using pulse
switch until coarsely chopped. Sauce may be served at room temperature or
heated. To roast peppers, broil 2" from heat, turning frequently, until
skin bubbles and is evenly charred. Transfer peppers, to sealable plastic
baggie, close and set aside until peppers cool. Peel charred skin from
peppers. Remove seed.

Greens with Walnut Vinaigrette: Combine vinegar and next 6 ingredients in a
small bowl, stirring well. Stir in walnuts; pour over field greens and toss
gently.

brown rice, substituting beef broth for 1/2 the amount of liquid requited.
