INSTRUCTIONS

METHOD Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Rub mixture all
over striploins, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.  Cook
all of the root vegetables individually in salted water until  tender
but not soft. Test by tasting. Drain the water and cool off on  a sheet
pan. Prepare the dressing for the root vegetables in a medium  skillet.
Saute the onions in the olive oil over medium heat for one  minute,
stirring with a wooden spoon. Stir in the Dijon mustard, red  wine
vinegar, then add the chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then  season with
salt and fresh pepper. Toss the root vegetables and the  warm dressing
in a stainless bowl (leave out the beets for later).  Cover the salad
and let stand at room temperature until needed.  Unwrap the striploin,
season with salt and grill over medium heat  until medium rare, 3-4
minutes on each side, and let rest. Toss the  cilantro, scallions, and
beets into the salad, adjust salt and pepper  if necessary. Spoon salad
on plate. Slice meat over salad. Garnish  with arugula, apples and
tortillas, if desired. Yield: 8 servings  Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1
