Equipment

  • 1 x skillet or pan

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 pound steak I recommend NY strip steak or ribeye
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or any high smoking point oil
  • 2 cloves garlic sliced
  • 1 large orange bell pepper or any color, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups baby arugula packed

For dressing

  • ¼ medium red onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon bonito flakes
  • 1½ tablespoon rice vinegar
  • Black pepper to taste

For toppings

  • Thinly sliced scallions
  • Toasted white sesame

Instructions
 

  • Let the steak sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to take some of the chill off. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Then sprinkle onion powder as well.
  • Heat up a skillet very hot. Add in the oil and swirl to spread. Add in the garlic. Cook the steak until it reaches desired doneness (3-4 minutes per side for 1.5 inch steak).
  • Set the steak aside and let it sit covered with aluminum foil for about 10 minutes.
  • Take the garlic out of the skillet. Wipe off the oil in the skillet lightly with paper towels. Cook the bell pepper for 1-2 minutes.
  • For dressing, place all ingredients for dressing in a blender or food processor. Process until smooth.
  • On a large plate, arrange the arugula, cooked bell pepper, and sliced steak. Top with scallions and sesame, then drizzle the dressing.

Notes

If you would like the onion in the dressing to be less spicy, wrap the onion loosely with cling wrap and microwave for 30 seconds or so before adding to the blender.
