YIELD: 1 Steak
INGREDIENTS
- Steak
- Kosher Salt
- Black Pepper
Optional Garnish
- Mushrooms
- Cipollini Onions
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Cauliflower
- Olive Oil
- Kosher Salt
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Generously season both sides of steak with salt and fresh ground pepper.
Place your steak on the hottest spot on your grill and let it sit to develop a nice char mark. After 2-3 minutes, rotate the steak 90 degrees to form perfect diamond char marks and continue cooking for another 2 minutes.
Flip the steak and repeat the process to produce the diamond char marks.
Place steak on a pan and place into oven for 3-5 minutes.
While the steak is in the oven, start preparing the garnish. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the skillet with olive oil. Add vegetables and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté all garnish ingredients until vegetables have softened to your liking.
Remove steak from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
Serve steak sliced and topped with garnish.
