instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients & make the lemon-caper sauce

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch-thick sticks. Peel 1 clove of garlic. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. Roughly chop the capers. Quarter and deseed the lemon. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped capers, a pinch of the spice blend, the juice of 1 lemon wedge, and as much of the garlic paste as you’d like. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

2 Roast the potatoes

Place the potato sticks in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the remaining spice blend. Toss to coat. Transfer to a sheet pan and arrange in an even layer. Roast 21 to 23 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

3 Cook the steaks

Once the potatoes have roasted about 5 minutes, pat the steaks dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on all sides. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned steaks. Cook, turning occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare (125°F), or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes.

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for steak. Cook the steaks an additional 2 to 3 minutes to achieve this.

4 Make the salad & serve your dish

In a large bowl, whisk together the juice of remaining lemon wedges and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Just before serving, add the arugula to the bowl; season with salt and pepper. Gently toss to coat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the rested steaks; slice crosswise against the grain. Serve the sliced steaks with the roasted potatoes and salad. Top the steaks with the sauce. Enjoy!
