Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the potato wedges with the olive oil and paprika on a lined sheet and roast 30 to 35 minutes, turning once, until crisp; this is the side.
  2. While the potatoes roast, slice the beef, onion, green bell pepper and mushrooms, mince the garlic, and wash and dry the romaine leaves.
  3. Season the beef with the black pepper and the salt.
  4. Heat half the canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear the beef in a single layer 2 to 3 minutes, stirring once, until browned and cooked to 145°F (63°C); move it to a plate to rest 3 minutes.
  5. Lower the heat to medium-high and add the remaining half of the canola oil. Cook the onion, green bell pepper and mushrooms 6 to 8 minutes until soft and browned, then stir in the garlic for 30 seconds.
  6. Return the beef to the skillet, add the Worcestershire sauce and toss. Divide into four mounds in the pan.
  7. Lay the mozzarella over the mounds, cover the skillet and cook off the heat 1 to 2 minutes until melted.
  8. Spoon each cheesy mound into stacked romaine leaves and serve with the roasted potato wedges.
