Delmonico Steak Recipe Instructions:

  1. Mix all marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Put the steak in the marinade and refrigerate for 2-4 hours, turning once
  2. While the steak is marinating, prepare the hash
  3. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
  4.  Chop onions and butternut squash
  5. Heat an oven-safe pan on medium heat and add olive oil. Once heated, add onion and smashed garlic
  6. Stir occasionally until the onion begins to soften, about 3-5 minutes
  7. Add butternut squash and saute for 5-7 minutes
  8. Add paprika, half of the black pepper, and a few dashes of salt, and stir
  9. Transfer the pan to the oven and let the squash cook for 10-15 minutes or until nicely roasted
  10. Add salt to taste
  11. Boil 1 cup of quinoa in 2 cups of water for 15 minutes until cooked, set aside
  12. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with a paper towel
  13. Salt and pepper the steak
  14. Heat 2 TB of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat
  15. Once you see steam rising off the skillet, you are ready to grease it with a little fat and begin searing
  16. Sear the steaks over direct heat for 2 minutes per side, then move them off the heat, cover, and cook and extra 4 minutes (or until desired doneness)
  17. Once cooked, leave the steak to rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice steak and set aside
  18. For the salad, wash and dry the kale. Slice the kale thinly perpendicular to the stalks
  19. To make the dressing, add balsamic, olive oil, honey, dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and garlic to a high-speed blender and blend until everything is combined
  20. Add the dressing to the kale and massage the dressing and kale together with your hands
  21. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half
  22. Add the tomatoes, quinoa, pine nuts, goat cheese and cranberries to the kale

Delmonico Steak Recipe Assembly: Arrange salad bowls with salad on the bottom, and then steak and hash

Delmonico steak grilling tips: dalmonico is a thicker steak so we recommend grilling or frying on a medium heat to avoid overcooking the outsite while giving the interior a chance to cook. As with all grass fed steaks we recommend cooking to a maximum of medium doneness (140 degrees fahrenheit) to avoid a tough texture.
