Parmesan(grated)                   2oz

Blak peppar                          1/2tsp

Cayenne peppar                    1 pinch

Wild Long Grain Rice              1 cup

Prep:

- Take the steak and let it sit until it gets to room temperature. While your waiting lets make the herb purée.

-Put the cilantro, parsley, parmesan, salt(pinch), pepper, and cayenne pepper in a food processor and blend. While the processor is doing it’s magic pour in the olive oil slowly.

-Now that you just made the sauce put some water to boil.Throw your rice in to cook and  put a large/medium sauce pan on high heat. Once the pan is hot, add olive or veggie oil. Before the oil starts to smoke and burn salt the steak drop it in the pan with the hot oil.

-Sear the steak on both sides but make sure not to overcook. After you sear the steak the way you want to eat it let the meat rest on a cutting board.

-Remove the rice after its cooked. Add salt, pepper and butter(optional).

-Cut the steak in two piece. They should look like two rectangles, have the short end of rectangle facing you on the cutting board then slice away from you.

-Plate the rice and now its time to call on your inner artist. Paint the plate with the herb purée and add the spliced meat. Voila!! In less than a hour you have an amazing meal

Not only is she a looker but the simple flavors of the herbs and steak are a perfect combination. Add any side that suits your pallet, to switch it up I make this with roasted garlic mashed potatoes or steamed veggies.
