Ingredients

  • 1 rib eye or N.Y. strip Yon Family Farms steak
  • Few pinches of salt and pepper
  • 3 tablespoons butter
Juniper's Basic Balsamic Vinaigrette
  • ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons local honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Salad
  • 2 cups Titan Farms assorted lettuces
  • 1 Titan Farms peach, pit removed, sliced or chopped
  • ¼ cup Trail Ridge goat milk feta, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 small Roasted Warbler Creek beets, chopped
  • 2 Pascalina Farms radishes, sliced thin
  • 1–2 local tomatoes, sliced into wedges

Instructions

Preheat oven to 500° (if finishing in oven). 

Heat a seasoned cast iron skillet to hot. Add butter and swirl to coat. Add steak (place it in pan away from you so you don’t get splattered). Let steak cook for 2 minutes. Using tongs (never pierce meat with a fork), flip the steak. Cook for 2 more minutes.  

Finish in oven or on stove top to desired internal temperature. 

For the dressing and salad:

Combine ingredients in a container with a good-sealing lid. With lid on, shake vigorously. The oil and vinegar will separate after sitting a few minutes; shake to recombine before dressing salad. 

Spoon desired amount of dressing over salad. 

Serve steak over chopped greens with your choice of local vegetables, fruits and cheeses.
