PEPPERED RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH WATERCRESS
Back in 2004, William Grimes, a former Times restaurant critic, realized that his role had changed him. No longer could he be satisfied with quotidian meals. He wanted a way to one-star dining in his home every night, and in 30 minutes or less. On his quest, he found this recipe, adapted from Food and Wine's "Fast: Over 150 Quick, Delicious Recipes in 30 Minutes or Less." The steaks are quickly seared, red wine reduced, and watercress tossed in butter until wilted. In 15 minutes, a restaurant-worthy dinner is served.

Steps:
- Season steaks on both sides with pepper, lightly patting it on. Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Season steaks to taste with salt, then place in dry skillet. Sear steaks without moving them until they are brown and crusty on undersides (about 4 minutes for medium-rare meat; adjust to taste). Turn steaks, and sear for 4 minutes more. Transfer steaks to a serving platter.
- Pour off any excess fat, and add wine to skillet. Cook over low heat until wine is reduced by half, about 30 seconds. Pour wine reduction over steaks.
- Wipe out skillet, and return to medium-low heat. Melt butter in skillet, and add watercress. Increase heat to high, and toss watercress until wilted, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt, and arrange around steaks. To serve, cut steaks in half. Place a portion on each of four plates, accompanied by a serving of watercress.
