  • 2 cups baby greens

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees and place one oven rack in upper third of oven and another rack in lower third of oven. Place a sheet of parchment on rimmed cookie sheet

  • Lightly drizzle potatoes in olive oil (about 1 tablespoon) and toss. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper to taste, toss again

  • Season both sides of steaks lightly with sea salt and pepper
  • Heat an oven safe grill pan for three minutes on cooktop on high heat
  • Heat a grill pan on high heat for two minutes. Add olive oil. Allow oil to get hot. Add steaks to pan (you should hear a pshhhhh sound) turn heat down to medium and sear for five minutes
  • Turn steaks and place in oven on lower rack, cook 4-5 minutes for rare, 5-6 minutes for medium rare, 8 for medium (note: every oven cooks differently. Your timing may vary) 
  • Remove steaks from oven and allow to 'rest' for five minutes
