Make
- Heat oven to 425F / 218C degrees.
- Heat a Dutch oven or any oven-safe pan with a lid over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and then onions and chard stems to heated oil. Saute until softened and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in arborio rice and garlic. Saute until rice is lightly toasted and the pan is dry. Add chard leaves and stock and bring to a boil. Cover and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
- While risotto cooks, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with some cooking oil. Place steak onto hot pan. Sear steak for ~4 minutes on each side. Lower heat to medium, cover with foil, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes for medium-rare; another 4 to 7 minutes for medium; 8 to 10 minutes for well-done.
- Let steak rest, covered with foil, for ~10 minutes.
- When risotto is finished, stir in ricotta. Season with some salt.
- Serve risotto with some parmesan cheese grated on top. Enjoy with steak.

Steak was great! I don't know what I did wrong on the risotto but it did not have a great texture. Pretty tasty though. would probably just make it the regular way.
0 HelpfulRisotto was delicious! Used leeks from our CSA in place of the onion. Extra ricotta so we could use up a container of it. We baked some salmon instead of doing the steaks since that's what we had on hand.
0 HelpfulLoved this! Didn’t change much except more ricotta, parm and s&p in the risotto. Very excited for leftovers for lunch!
0 HelpfulMy kiddo hates ricotta so I subbed parm. It was really good and I love having an easier way to make risotto.
0 HelpfulSimplified it even further by cutting out the eggs from the salad, and doing a simple oil and balsamic dressing. The steak was about 1 in. thick and it came out nicely (medium to medium rare) with 4 minutes on each side and then 2-3 minutes in the covered pan, 5 minutes rest.
