Ingredients

Steak and Salad

Balsamic Vinaigrette

Method

1

Season the steak generously with salt and pepper and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking.

2

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat until smoking. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.

3

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 8-10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

4

Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until emulsified.

5

Toss the arugula, cherry tomatoes, and red onion with most of the vinaigrette. Divide among plates.

6

Top each salad with sliced steak and toasted walnuts, then drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette.

Notes

  • Toasting the walnuts in a dry skillet for a few minutes brings out their flavor dramatically.
  • Shaved parmesan is a great non-essential addition if you're not keeping this dairy-free.
