Ingredients
>
2 medium broccoli crowns
>
2 (12 oz each) boneless NY strip

1 (8.8 oz) pkg precooked Nature's Promise® Ancient Grains and Brown rice with Garlic Essence

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

1/2 cup poppy seed dressing, divided
Steps
1
Cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets, about 4 cups. Add to a large microwave-safe bowl along with ¼ cup water. Cover with vented plastic and microwave 3–4 min., until tender. Cool slightly and drain.
2
Meanwhile, heat a greased grill pan on high. Pat the steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Cook 3–4 min. per side for medium, or until desired doneness. Let stand 5 min.
3
Microwave the rice according to package directions. In a medium bowl, toss together the broccoli, rice, onion, and ¼ cup dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to serving platter. Thinly slice steak and serve atop broccoli-grain salad. Drizzle with remaining ¼ cup dressing.
Tips
To temper the bite of raw onion, soak chopped onion in cold water 5 min., then strain and rinse. Pat dry with paper towels before using.
