Equipment

  • Food processor

Ingredients
  

  • 4 eggs
  • 4 New York Strip Steaks
  • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • ¼ tsp. seasoned salt
  • 2 cloves chopped garlic
  • ¼ tsp. each kosher salt and pepper
  • 2 cups baby arugula
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes

For the Sesame Quinoa:

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 4 sliced scallions
  • 2 tbsp. each sesame oil and sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp. light soy sauce

For the Lime and Cilantro Sauce:

  • 1 cup cilantro leaves and stems
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • 2 tbsp. sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp. light soy sauce

Instructions
 

  • Begin by making the boiled eggs: In a three quart saucepan, bring one inch of water to a boil. Add the eggs and cover and simmer for 8 minutes. Drain eggs and place them in ice water for 12 minutes. Then, peel them under running water.
  • While the eggs are cooking prepare the Quinoa: Cook the quinoa according to package directions. While the quinoa cooks heat the rest of the ingredients in a small skillet on low heat for about five minutes, or until the garlic softens.
  • Next, make the steaks: Dry the steaks well. Heat two cast iron skillets on high heat. Season the steaks on both sides with the seasoned salt. Brush them on both sides with vegetable oil. Cook the steaks, two per skillet, on both sides, for about four minutes per side. For medium rare steak, cook until the steaks are 145 degrees in the middle of the steak. If you like your steaks more well done, you may want to bake the steaks at 350 degrees, after searing them, for about ten minutes. Let the steaks rest for five minutes, on a cutting board.
  • While the steak cooks, make the Lime and Cilantro Sauce: Simply combine all the ingredients in a food processor until everything is finely minced and blended.
  • Serve the steaks with the sauce, the quinoa, and the vegetables.
