  • 1- 1/2 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Place top sirloin steak in skillet; cook 10 to 13 minutes (tenderloin steaks, 7 to 9 minutes) for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally. Remove to platter; keep warm.
  • Meanwhile to prepare Sweet Beet Vinaigrette, combine all ingredients except oil in small bowl; gradually whisk in oil until blended.
  • Arrange salad greens on serving plates or platter. Top with roasted vegetables; drizzle with vinaigrette. Carve steaks into slices; season with salt, as desired. Arrange over salad. Garnish with almonds, if desired.
