  • 1 steak-cooked medium rare in immersion circulator thinly sliced
  • horseradish sauce
  • 2 cups baby arugula

Pickled Onions

  • 1 red onion halved and sliced

Crostini

  • 1 baguette sliced diagonally into ¾" slices
  • extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Place sliced onions in a jar. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar and salt to dissolve. Pour mixture into jar, over onions. Let sit at room temperature for several hours. (Shake mixture every now and then).
