Tyson Heat ‘N Eat Giveaway #2

This week’s featured Tyson Heat ‘N Eat Entree is the Beef Brisket in Fire Roasted Onion Sauce. I love the Tyson Heat ‘N Eat Entrees because they are so quick to make. Since the meat is already fully cooked all you need to do is pop it in microwave for 5 minutes. My side dishes usually take longer than that to prepare!

This week’s recipe by Food Network host Robin Miller is for Wilted Caprese Salad with Brisket in Fire Roasted Onion Sauce.

Recipe serves 4

Preparation Time: 5-10 minutes

Cook Time: 6 minutes

Ingredients

1          package (17.6 ounces) Tyson® Beef Brisket in Fire Roasted Onion Sauce

4          cups (9 ounces) baby spinach leaves

8          ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, cut into ¼-inch thick slices

2          ripe beefsteak tomatoes, cut into ¼-inch thick slices

2          tablespoons balsamic or sherry vinegar

¼         cup chopped fresh basil, optional

Stovetop Preparation Instructions

1.      Empty contents of brisket into a large saucepan or skillet and set pan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low and simmer for an additional five minutes.

2.      Place spinach leaves on a large platter and top with alternating slices of mozzarella cheese and tomatoes. Using tongs, remove brisket pieces from the sauce, reserving the sauce in the pan. Slice brisket into thin slices and arrange on and around cheese and tomatoes (in a decorative fashion).

3.      Whisk the vinegar into the sauce in the pan and simmer for one minute to heat through. Drizzle sauce over salad to wilt the spinach leaves and slightly melt the cheese.

4.      Sprinkle basil over the top just before serving (if using).

Microwave Preparation Instructions:

1.      Poke three holes in the brisket pouch, and place the pouch in its microwave-safe tray. Cover with a paper towel, and cook on high for 5 minutes. Let stand 1-2 minutes before removing from the microwave. Empty the contents of the brisket pouch onto the microwave-safe tray.

2.      Place spinach leaves on a large platter and top with alternating slices of mozzarella cheese and tomatoes. Using tongs, remove pieces from brisket (keeping the brisket sauce separate) and place nicely on and around the cheese and tomatoes.  

3.      Take the remaining sauce from the tray and put it in a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk vinegar with the sauce in the bowl and microwave, uncovered, on high for 45 seconds. Let stand for one minute before removing from the microwave. Drizzle sauce over salad to wilt the spinach leaves and slightly melt the cheese.

4.      Sprinkle basil over the top just before serving (if using).
