| Beef, Mango & Barley Salad
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 beef tri-tip roast (1-1/2 to 2 lbs)
- 2 medium red bell peppers, cut into 1-1/2 inch pieces
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 cup uncooked quick-cooking barley
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/3 cup lime juice
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
- 2 medium mangoes, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1/3 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 large Boston lettuce leaves (optional)
PREPARATION:
- Heat oven to 425°F. Place bell peppers on metal baking sheet; spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Press 1 teaspoon paprika evenly onto all surfaces of beef roast. Place roast on rack in shallow roasting pan. Do not add water or cover. Roast in 425°F oven 30 to 40 minutes for medium rare; 40 to 45 minutes for medium doneness. Roast bell peppers in oven with beef about 30 minutes or until tender. Set peppers aside to cool.
- Remove roast when instant-read thermometer registers 135°F for medium rare; 150°F for medium. Transfer roast to carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 15 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F to reach 145°F for medium rare; 160°F for medium.)
- Meanwhile, cook barley according to package directions. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Cut beef into 1/2 inch pieces; season with salt and black pepper.
- Whisk lime juice, oil and 1/2 teaspoon paprika in small bowl until blended. Toss with beef, barley, roasted peppers, mangoes, green onions and cilantro in large bowl.
- Serve in Boston lettuce leaves, if desired.
