High-Fiber Dinner is not just a recipe it’s an experience of warmth, flavor, and connection. This comforting meal, featuring tender sirloin steak and vibrant escarole, brings together the perfect balance of nourishment and love. It’s a dish that reminds us of laughter-filled evenings, family stories shared over flickering candles, and the joy that only a home-cooked meal can bring.
Why This High-Fiber Dinner Brings Joy to the Table
Ah, mis queridos amigos, this dish brings me right back to my childhood dinners at Abuela Marisol’s house. The table was always full of food, of stories, of vida. The aroma of garlic and herbs filled every corner, wrapping us in comfort.
This High-Fiber Dinner captures that same essence. The juicy sirloin steak offers hearty satisfaction, while the escarole provides a touch of earthy freshness. Together, they create a meal that’s as good for the heart as it is for the body. And with all that fiber? You’ll feel light, energized, and ready to dance a little after dinner!
In every bite, you taste love, laughter, and the spirit of togetherness. That, my friends, is true nourishment.
What You’ll Need
Gather your ingredients, mis amores! This simple list comes together beautifully:
- 1 pound sirloin steak, ½ inch thick
- ½ teaspoon salt, divided
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (canola or avocado)
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 3 sprigs fresh sage
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 16 cups chopped escarole (about 1 pound)
Each ingredient adds its own charm from the fragrant herbs that remind us of the Tuscan countryside to the bright greens that make our plates come alive.
Step-by-Step: How to Cook High-Fiber Dinner
Cooking is an act of love, cariño. So pour yourself a little glass of vino, put on your favorite music, and let’s cook together!
Step 1: Season the Steak
Pat the steak dry and season both sides with ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. This is where the magic begins simple seasoning, big flavor.
Step 2: Sear to Perfection
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and place the steak in the pan. Don’t move it! Let it sear for 3 minutes to get that perfect golden crust.
Step 3: Add the Aromatics
Flip the steak, then add the oil, garlic, thyme, sage, and rosemary. As the herbs sizzle, your kitchen will smell divino! Cook for 3–4 more minutes, or until the steak reaches 125°F for medium-rare.
Step 4: Rest and Relax
Transfer the steak to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Let it rest just like we do after a long day! This step locks in the juices.
Step 5: Sauté the Escarole
In the same pan, add the escarole along with the remaining salt and pepper. Stir for 2 minutes until the greens are tender and glossy.
Step 6: Slice and Serve
Thinly slice the steak against the grain and arrange it on a platter with the escarole. Drizzle with the pan juices and top with those crispy herbs.
¡Ay, qué belleza! You’ve just created a restaurant-worthy meal full of fiber, flavor, and love.
How to Serve High-Fiber Dinner for Family & Friends
Serving is where the celebration begins! Present your High-Fiber Dinner on a large, beautiful platter. Place the sliced steak in the center, surrounded by the lush green escarole.
Add a sprinkle of coarse sea salt for sparkle and drizzle a bit of olive oil on top. Serve with a side of roasted sweet potatoes or a warm grain like farro or brown rice for an extra fiber boost.
And most importantly, gather your loved ones, pass the plates around, and fill the room with laughter. Food, after all, is about connection.
How to Keep High-Fiber Dinner Fresh for Later
If you have leftovers (which might be a miracle!), store the steak and escarole separately in airtight containers. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
When reheating, warm the steak gently in a skillet or the oven to keep it tender. Add a splash of broth or olive oil to refresh the escarole.
Or, if you’re like me, toss leftover steak slices into a salad the next day it’s a quick and tasty encore!
Tía Maribel’s Flavor Secrets
Ah, you know I can’t let you go without a few sabrosos secrets from my kitchen!
