In this week’s parsha, Joseph has a dream of 7 beautiful cows and 7 ugly ones and the seven ugly cows ate the nice cows, so this week we will be making a steak (from cows). And because the skinny cows ate the big cows we will be making a lean steak!

• New York Strip Steak: the recipe calls for 2 lbs. of steak, but you can scale the amount up or down depending on how many people you plan to feed.
• Olive oil: helps the seasoning adhere to the meat and prevents the meat from sticking to the grill.

kosher salt, garlic powder, parsley flakes, minced onion and dried basil.

1. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before grilling.

2. Pat the steaks dry, rub them with olive oil, and season with just a little bit of all-purpose seasoning.

3. Heat a grill to high.

4. Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook until slightly charred, about 4-5 minutes.

5. Turn the steaks over and continue to grill for about 3-5 more minutes, or until the steaks reach your desired level of doneness.

6. Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
