Flank Steak Salad with Arugula Recipe
Inspired by Chow’s recipe, I craved for a simple aragula-balsamic pairing. I did not finish the steak in the oven, it was thin enough and I didn’t want to over do it.
For the steak:
- 3/4 pound flank steak
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 finely chopped leek
- Balsamic vinegar
For the dressing:
- olive oil
- balsamic vinegar
- salt, pepper
For the salad:
- 3 cooked beets
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (about half a medium onion)
- 2-3 packed cups arugula
- For the steak:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Remove steak from the refrigerator, blot with paper towels, and season liberally on both sides with salt and black pepper. Heat a large, oven-safe frying pan over high heat. (If the steak is too large to fit in one pan, cut it in half and use two pans.) Add 2 tbsp oil to the pan, and sear steak until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Let steak rest a few minutes before slicing it. In the meantime, reduce heat and heat remaining oil, cook leek until slightly brown. Deglaze with a few dops of balsamic vinegar. Slice steak and return briefly to pan.
- For the salad:
- Dress plate with aragula, onions and beets. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Top with sliced steak and leek
