Method

Start by washing and chopping the romaine lettuce and mint. Slice the mushrooms and set aside. Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and season with salt and the ground black pepper. Stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked to your liking. Transfer the beef to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes.
In the same skillet, add the mushrooms and cook for about 2-3 minutes until tender. Add the peas and stir until heated through.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cooked mushrooms, and peas. Toss gently to mix. Top with the sliced beef and sprinkle fresh mint leaves.
Drizzle the tahini on the side before serving or mix it in depending on your preference. Enjoy your fresh and nutritious salad!
