Prep below:

Grocery List : serves 2 

STEAK  - I'm using New York Strip for this class, but feel free to use your favorite cut.

Because of the size of NY Strip I  generally slice to serve so I  buy based on total ounces instead of one steak per person. I aim for 8-10 ounces per person.

-sea salt

-pepper

vinegar 1 lime 1 shallot
