Ingredients:

4 6 oz New Zealand grass-fed beef tenderloin steaks (Tip: look for the Taste Pure Nature Logo)
Salt
Pepper
2 oz unsalted butter
4-6 cloves garlic, crushed

For the Dressing:

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup sour cream
2 oz blue cheese, crumbled
1 teaspoon white balsamic dressing
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced

For the Salad:

1 head iceberg lettuce, quartered
1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 Persian cucumbers, cut into coins
1 small red onion, roughly chopped
Salt
Pepper
2 tablespoons Everything Bagel seasoning (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Remove steaks from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature.
3. Once the steaks reach room temperature, season all sides with salt and pepper.
4. To a cast iron or oven safe pan, add butter and garlic. Cook the butter and garlic in the oven or over medium-low heat on the stovetop for 2 minutes.
5. Once the butter has melted, add steaks to the pan and cook for 2 1/2 minutes on each side, or until a golden-brown crust forms on the top and bottom.
6. Put the steaks in the oven for another 5-8 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness and set aside to rest.
7. While the steaks are cooking, prepare the dressing and salad. To a small bowl, add all dressing ingredients, mix and set aside.
8. Season lettuce and tomatoes with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Assemble the lettuce wedges, cucumber, onion and tomatoes on a large platter.
9. Once steaks have rested at least 5 minutes, slice and place alongside the salad on the platter. Drizzle the steak with any remaining garlic butter.
10. Top the lettuce wedges with the dressing and season the platter with Everything Bagel seasoning, and salt and pepper, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy.
