Ease and simplicity are the name of the game for dinner tonight. Serve golden-roasted cauliflower with a juicy strip loin, and a glass (or two) of bold red wine. Enjoy!
Ingredients
6 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp salt
3 strip loin steaks, about 1/2-in. thick
2 tsp canola oil
Instructions
STIR garlic cloves with white balsamic vinegar, cayenne and salt. Rub on both sides of the strip loin steaks.
HEAT a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high. Add canola oil, then steaks. Reduce heat to medium. Cook 3 to 4 min per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to plates and let rest, covered, 5 min. Cut into 1/2-in. slices. Drizzle any pan juices over steaks.

Wine Pairings
Pair it with: A great Greek red. This well-priced take on cabernet sauvignon delivers with ripe, plummy blackcurrant fruit and some expressive spice notes. Assertive tannins also make a perfect foil for garlicky steak. Our pick: Pezoules Cabernet Sauvignon, Greece, $12.
Serve with roasted cauliflower salad.
