Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and cook the steaks

  • Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon oil until hot but not smoking. Add the steaks and cook, turning frequently, until well browned and your desired doneness is reached. For medium-rare, that’s 4 to 6 minutes for New York strips and rib-eyes, 6 to 8 minutes for top sirloins, and 8 to 12 minutes for filet mignons. 

Transfer the cooked steaks to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes. Cut the steaks into ½-inch-thick slices. 

While the steaks are cooking, prepare the ginger-basil dressing.

2

Make the ginger-basil dressing

  • Grate or peel and finely chop enough ginger to measure 1 teaspoon [2 tsp].
  • Strip the basil leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves. 

In a large bowl, stir together the ginger, basil, honey-lime vinaigrette base, and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

3

Prep and cook the onion and nectarine

  • Peel the onion and cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick rings.
  • Cut the nectarine in half and remove the pit.

In the same pan used for the steaks, warm the residual fat over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and nectarine halves, cut sides down, and cook without turning until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a cutting board. Cut the nectarine halves into ½-inch-thick wedges.

While the onion and nectarine are cooking, prepare the walnuts.

4

Prep the walnuts; assemble the salad

  • Coarsely chop the walnuts.
To the bowl with the dressing, add the onion, nectarine, walnuts, and kale and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the salad to individual bowls, top with the sliced steak, and serve.
