Name Tuscan Style Steak with Arugula & Parmesan
Number of People 4
List of Ingredients 5 T. extra-virgin olive oil
1 T. lemon juice
2 gloves garlic, minced
1 T. choppped fresh parsley leaves
1 T. chopped fresh oregano leaves
salt and coarsely ground pepper
4 boneless strip steaks, 1 to 1 1/4\\" thick, trimmed
8 cups loosely packed arugula
3 oz. Parmesan cheese, shaved
Description Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, oregano, and a pinch each of salt and pepper til smooth.

Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Meanwhile, season the steaks liberally with salt and pepper. Lay the steaks in the pan and cook, without moving, until a well-browned crust forms, about 5 to 6 minutes. Using tongs, flip steaks. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook 3 to 4 minutes more for rare or 5 to 6 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.

Divide the arugula evenly among 4 individual plates. Cut each steak crosswise into thin strips and arrange the steak over the arugula. Drizzle any juices that collected from the meat over the greens. Rewhisk the dressing and drizzle it over the steak and greens. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and serve immediately.

Notes I used Montreal Steak Seasoning instead of salt and pepper to season the steaks before cooking.

I bought "Western Style" strip steaks and they worked very well; cooked them 6 minutes on each side and they were perfect!

Also, used a blend of spinach and arugula and it was very good!
