Steak with Mixed Peppercorns and Pomegranate GlazeLisa Hubbard

Peppercorn mélange is a mix of whole black, white, pink, and green peppercorns; it's often sold in a grinder in the spice section of the supermarket. The peppery blend and sweet glaze in this recipe make the most of an inexpensive cut of meat.

Ingredients

1 1 1/4-pound top sirloin steak (about 1 inch thick)
Peppercorn mélange, coarsely ground
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 cup pomegranate juice
4 teaspoons (packed) golden brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, divided
4 cups arugula

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Sprinkle steak very generously with coarsely ground peppercorn mélange and salt. Sprinkle each side of steak with half of chopped rosemary. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak; cook to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steak to platter. Add pomegranate juice, golden brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar to skillet; boil until reduced to scant 1/4 cup glaze, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Season glaze to taste with salt.

    Step 2

    Toss arugula with remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar in medium bowl; season to taste with salt. Divide arugula evenly among 4 plates. Slice steak; divide and arrange alongside arugula. Drizzle glaze generously around steak and serve.
