Directions:Preheat oven to 500°. Lay the parsnips on a baking sheet in a single layer and sprinkle with pepper. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and bake in the oven for 12 - 14 minutes or until golden brown. While the parsnips are roasting, boil the stock in a small sauce pan over high heat until it is reduced by 1/2; set aside. Slice the top round into 6 (1” thick) steaks. Dredge the meat lightly in flour and set aside. Place a large cast-iron skillet over very high heat and add 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. When the oil is hot sear the steaks for 4 - 6 minutes on each side. Remove the steaks to warm serving plates. Add the lime juice, lime zest, and the Coca-Cola to the pan and boil for 3 minutes, stirring to scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the reduced stock, stirring to combine. Turn up the heat as high as possible, and cook to reduce the liquid to 1/2 cup. Set aside and keep warm. Place a medium sauté pan over high heat and add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the spinach and cook, stirring constantly, until it is wilted, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. To serve: place 1 steak on each plate. Mound some of the spinach at the base of each steak and arrange toasted parsnips across the center of each plate. Pour the warm sauce over the meat and serve. |
