1. In medium saucepan, combine cranberries, honey and 60 ml (¼ cup) water. Simmer over medium heat until cranberries burst, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

3. Add butter and garlic to cranberries. Stir and season with pepper and salt.

4. In large skillet add olive oil and warm on medium heat until thinned. Add steaks and sear (3 minutes), turn for 2 minutes, cover and cook for 4-5 minutes longer being careful not to overcook them.

5. Add wine to cranberry mix, reheat to boil and remove from heat. Place steaks on a plate, drizzle cranberry sauce over them and add walnuts. If it’s spring try fiddleheads or string beans and baked sweet potato as sides.
