Ingredients
Steak au Poivre:
- Steak, NY Strip - 1 lb ((sub beef tenderloin steaks or other cut of choice)
- Black pepper - 1 Tbsp
- Salt - 1 1/2 tsp
Steak House Salad with Walnuts and Hard Boiled Eggs:
- Eggs - 2 , hard boiled
- Shallots - 1 clove , diced
- Vinegar, balsamic - 1 Tbsp
- Maple syrup - 1 tsp
- Mustard, Dijon - 1 tsp
- Oil, olive - 3 Tbsp
- Spinach, baby - 6 oz
- Walnuts, halves or pieces - 2 oz
- Tomatoes, cherry or grape - 1 cup , halved
Prep
- Boil eggs - Cover eggs with cold water and some salt. Bring to a boil and then turn off heat. Let eggs sit in hot water for 11 minutes and then run in cold water for easier peeling. Roll egg against a hard, flat surface to break up shell, and then peel. If making ahead of time, peel right before serving. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Steak - Remove steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow steaks to come to room temperature. Season with black pepper and salt. (Note: As the name implies, these are peppery steaks. If you prefer less pepper, feel free to reduce the amount listed.)
- Shallots - Dice shallots. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Make vinaigrette - Combine shallots with vinegar, maple syrup and mustard. Add olive oil while whisking. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Toast walnuts (optional) - If you’d like the walnuts for the salad toasted, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add walnuts and cook in the dry pan, stirring constantly, until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Tomatoes - Slice in half. (Can be done up to 2 days ahead)
