Sirloin Steak with Baked Potato and Buffalo-Style Green Beans

I have had a hankering for some real red meat for awhile. Not sure if my body is telling me I need iron or what but I offered to make dinner for Derek tonight. Decided on pan-broiled sirloin with mushrooms, a baked potato topped with my favorite Cool & Spicy Dip and a side of Buffalo-Style green beans.

The green bean recipe is actually a Weight Watchers recipe (2 pts per serving) and had a little bit of a kick to it. Baked potato was not actually baked but cooked in the microwave for 15 minutes (for two potatoes, 7-8 minutes for one).

The steak is sirloin that I placed in a oil-heated (2 tbsp) cast-iron pan and seared for apporx 5 minutes per side on medium to med-high heat and then placed in a pre-heated 400 degree oven for about 8-10 minutes, flipping once. Then I sauteed the `shrooms in the pan while the meat rested.

Below is the recipe for the green beans.You can make the day ahead and warm to room temperature before serving to maximize the flavor.
