Ingredients
- 1½ lb New York strip steaks
- 1½ tsp salt and black pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 12 oz fresh blueberries
- 1 bunch fresh basil
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp honey
- 10 oz spring mix
- 1 count English cucumber

Steps
- Make the dressing: blend or mash 1/2 cup blueberries with a handful of basil leaves, the balsamic, Dijon, honey, 2 tbsp oil, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear 4-5 minutes per side until 145°F for medium. Rest 3 minutes, then slice thin.
- While the steak rests, toast the walnuts in a dry pan 3 minutes and slice the cucumber.
- Toss the spring mix, cucumber, remaining blueberries, and torn basil, and divide among plates.
- Top with sliced steak, goat cheese, and walnuts, and drizzle with the blueberry dressing.
On the side: Warm pita and hummus (5 min)

- Warm the pitas in a dry skillet or the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, cut into wedges and serve with the hummus.
