Time 20m

Yield 1 to 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 lemons
1 teaspoon finely chopped thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
One 12- to 16-ounce New York strip steak
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1.5 cups mixed greens

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine the Dijon, juice of 1 lemon, thyme, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a small bowl; whisk until combined and homogenous.
  • Remove 2 tablespoons of the marinade and rub all over the steak for 1 minute. Let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the juice of the remaining 1/2 lemon and the honey into the remaining marinade until the honey is blended. Season with salt. While whisking slowly, add the olive oil. Whisk constantly for 2 minutes; set aside to dress the salad later.
  • Heat a large ovenproof saute pan over high heat for 2 minutes 30 seconds. Season the steak all over with 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the hot pan, then add the steak. Cook until crusty and browned, about 1 minute on each of the 4 long sides of the steak.
  • Place in the oven for 3 minutes. Remove the steak from the pan and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
  • Meanwhile, toss the mixed greens with the dressing. Slice the steak and serve alongside the salad.

WINTER SPRING MIX SALAD (MESCLUN)



Winter Spring Mix Salad (Mesclun) image

I came up with this recipe when I wanted a healthy and warm dish with a different texture and taste other than spinach. It has a very simple taste to it, but the ingredients and flavors all meld together nicely. I used all organic ingredients; including the chicken (but you could omit the chicken or even substitute shrimp and add pine nuts). It has a very good taste and is a nice change from ordinary spinach and chicken dishes.
