- ¼ cup finely diced Manchego cheese
- ¼ cup diced purple onion
- ¼ cup chopped kalamata olives
- ¼ cup diced red pepper
- 4 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. instant minced onion
- ½ tsp. seasoned salt
- ½ tsp. spicy Montreal steak seasoning
- ¼ tsp. garlic pepper
- ¼ tsp. seasoned pepper
- 2 New York strip steaks (about 8 oz., ea.)
In small bowl, combine first 4 ingredients; add 3 tbsp. olive oil and blend well. Let stand at room temperature while preparing steaks. In another small bowl, combine minced onion, salt, steak seasoning, peppers and remaining 1 tbsp. olive oil; blend well. Brush half seasoning mixture evenly over one side of steak. Place steak, seasoned side up, on ungreased rack in bake pan/drip pan of Black & Decker® InfraWave® Oven. Place pan inside oven and close oven door.
Follow these steps:
Halfway through cooking, remove steaks from oven. Turn over and brush steaks with remaining seasoning mixture. Return steaks to oven; close door and press to continue cooking. When cooking time is complete, oven will give an audible signal. Check for doneness. Tent loosely with foil and let beef stand for at least 5 minutes before serving. Serve steak topped with olive mixture. Add cooked rice and a mixed green salad for an easy, yet elegant, dinner.
Note: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat to test the doneness: 120° to 125°F (49° to 52°C) for rare; 135° to 145°F (57° to 63°C) for medium.
Makes 2 servings.
