Start with two New York strip steaks, about 1 inch thick, with good marbling.

Salt the steaks with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt per steak, rubbing it into the surface. Let the salted steaks rest for at least 45 minutes, or up to a day in the fridge.

Prepare the salad dressing: zest two lemons to get about 2 teaspoons of zest.

Add 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise to a dressing shaker.

Pour in 1 tablespoon of mild molasses.

Add 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard and whisk together to combine.

Mince about 2 teaspoons of chives and add them to the dressing.

Juice the zested lemons to get about 1/4 cup of lemon juice and add it to the dressing.

Add 1/2 cup of olive oil in three batches, whisking to emulsify after each addition.

Add 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, whisking again to combine.

Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and minced garlic from 1 clove, whisking to combine.

Prepare salad vegetables: chop carrots, cucumbers, and apple into recognizable pieces for the salad.
