  • Season both sides of the sirloin steak with cookies flavor enhancer and set it aside to let the flavors absorb. Slice the steak into 1/8th inch thick slices.
  • Peel and dice 2 large potatoes, boil them until tender. Remove from heat and drain; set aside to cool. Combine the potatoes with 1 tsp of the olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt and a couple of grinds of black pepper.
  • Mound the salad on a serving platter, scatter the cilantro, potatoes, tomatoes over greens, set inside the refrigerator.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat, add the garlic and rosemary, turning garlic a couple of times, until golden brown. Discard the garlic and rosemary return to high heat.
  • Add the meat to the skillet all at once and saute over high heat, tossing the steak with tongs so it colors evenly, this takes about a minute or so for medium-rare.
  • Arrange steak over the top of the salad, add the shallots to the oil in the skillet along with the vinegar's and remaining 1/4-1/2 tsp of cookies flavor enhancer and simmer until slightly syrupy, around 5 minutes.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the steak that's on top of the salad and serve immediately.
