Steak Provencal

Servings: 4 people

Equipment

  • 1 large cast iron skillet
  • 1 mason jar
  • 1 salad spinner

Ingredients

  • 2 ribeye steaks 1lb each - defrosted, keep refrigerated
  • 8 cup arugula
  • 5 medium red potatoes
  • 6 cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 1/4 cup champagne vinegar (for dressing)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil (for dressing)
  • 1 purple onion sliced - add according to taste
  • 8 tsp Herbs de Provence
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil
  • 3 tbsp clarified butter or Ghee
  • 3 cups ice for ice bath

Instructions

  • Add potatoes in a pot and fill with water.  Add ¼ tsp of salt and bring to a rolling boil for 8 to 12 minutes or until tender.  Drain the potatoes and add them to ice water to cool completely.
  • Make the dressing: Add ¼ cup of champagne vinegar and ½ cup of olive oil in a Mason Jar and shake until combined.
  • Clean and spin arugula in salad spinner
  • Warm each steak up with your hands for 1-2 minutes. Just hold lightly. Rub each side of the steak with 1 tsp of kosher salt. Get all around the edges as well - this will help form a nice crust and add flavor to the steak.  Repeat the same step with 1 tsp of the Herbs de Provence.
     *Do not leave the meat out for too long - it could potentially cause a health risk if bacteria form. only leave steak meat out 10 minutes before cooking.
  • Heat a medium size cast iron skillet up to a high temperature.  Avocado oil has a very high smoke point, 520 degrees. Clarified butter about 480.  You will be cooking at a high temp so this will prevent your kitchen from filling up with smoke.   Once the skillet is hot (about 5-8 minutes) add the avocado oil and then the steaks.  For medium steaks, cook about 5 minutes on each side. Medium rare, 3 minutes. Once steak is done, turn off heat, add clarified butter to the pan and baste over the steak.  Let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  • The Dressing- Add the oil and vinegar to the mason jar and shake.
  • The salad- Add the arugula, tomatoes and potato's to a mixing bowl and toss with the dressing. Split between individual bowls.
  • Slice each steak and add to the salad as show in the picutre
