Bistro Steak Sliders

Ingredients:

• 1 beef Top Sirloin Petite Roast (2 pounds)
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon coarse grind black pepper
• 1 medium red onion, cut into half, then thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1-1/2 cups regular or reduced-fat blue cheese dressing
• 24 small dinner rolls, split
• 3 cups fresh baby greens (such as spinach, arugula or mixed salad greens)
• 12 slices bacon, cooked, cut in half

Cooking:

1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Combine garlic and pepper; press evenly onto all surfaces of beef roast.

2. Place roast on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of beef. Toss onion with oil; place  around roast. Do not add water or cover. Roast in 325°F oven 75 to 95 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness.

3. Remove roast when instant-read thermometer registers 135°F for medium rare; 150°F for medium doneness. Transfer roast to carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 10 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F to reach 145°F for medium rare; 160°F for medium.)

4. Meanwhile, increase oven temperature to 425°F. Return onions to oven; roast an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown.

5. Carve roast into slices. Spread 1 tablespoon blue cheese dressing on bottom half of rolls. Top evenly with spinach, bacon, beef and onions. Close sandwiches.
