1 BOX (8 OZ) FROZEN VIDALIA ONION RINGS

4 SLICES FROZEN TEXAS TOAST (½ AN 11.25-OZ BOX)

12-OZ FLANK STEAK

½ TSP SALT

½ TSP PEPPER

2 LARGE RIPE PLUM TOMATOES, SLICED

SALAD

1 BAG (5 OZ) BABY ARUGULA BLEND OR OTHER SALAD MIX

1 JAR (12 OZ) ROASTED PEPPERS, PREFERABLY RED AND YELLOW, CUT UP

1 CAN (10 OZ) CHICKPEAS, RINSED

¼ CUP RED-WINE VINAIGRETTE

Heat oven to 475°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil (for easy cleanup). Spread onion rings in a single layer on half the lined pan and bake 5 minutes. Put Texas Toast on other side of pan. Bake 6 to 9 minutes, turning once, until onion rings and toast are golden and crisp.

Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak with salt and pepper, place in skillet and cook, turning once, 7 to 9 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted from side to middle registers 155°F. Remove to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil and let rest. (Temperature will rise to 160°F for medium doneness.)

Meanwhile, make SALAD: Mix ingredients in a large bowl.

Slice steak thinly across the grain. Put 1 slice toast on each of 4 plates. Top with tomatoes, steak, then onion rings; serve with the salad.
