Simply grilled steak on garlic-flavored county bread smothered with caramelized onions and mushrooms and topped with spicy arugula makes a tasty, all-in-one meal. It’s a steak and salad dinner that’s perfect for summer. Add a few tomato slices on the side.

The steak is great on a grill, but also works sauteed in a skillet. Tenderloin is a lower fat cut of beef, but skirt steak, flank steak or any quick cooking steak can be used.

Cooking tips: It’s best to cook steak when it is at room temperature. For a juicier steak, let it rest 10 minutes before carving.

This meal contains 626 calories per serving with 32 percent of calories from fat.

Helpful hints:

• Any type of mushrooms can be used.

• Use the same timing for steak if sauteing instead of grilling.

Countdown:

• Grill steak.

• Meanwhile, cook onions and mushrooms.

• Toast bread.

• Toss arugula with dressing.

• Assemble sandwich.

Shopping list:

• To buy: 3/4 pound beef tenderloin, 1 package sliced Portobello mushrooms, 1 package arugula, 2 medium tomatoes, 1 loaf thick country bread.

•  Staples: Olive oil spray, olive oil, onion, garlic, reduced-fat salad dressing, salt, black peppercorns.
