Method
 

Instructions
  1. Season the New York strip steaks generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sear the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the pearl onions and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are lightly caramelized.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the pomegranate juice, honey, balsamic vinegar, and fresh marjoram. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the onions, and bring it to a simmer.
  4. Return the seared steaks to the skillet, spoon some of the glaze over each steak, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Let it braise for about 20-25 minutes, turning the steaks halfway through.
  5. While the steaks are braising, in a separate pot, combine the chopped turnips and chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and then simmer until the turnips are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  6. Once tender, drain the turnips and transfer them to a blender. Add butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth and velvety.
  7. When the steaks are done braising, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. Slice them against the grain. Serve the steaks over the velvety turnip gravy, topped with the pomegranate-glazed pearl onions.

Notes

For a sweeter glaze, you can add more honey or reduce the pomegranate juice further. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
