Ingredients

  • 1.25 lb flank or hanger steak
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers from jar, drained
  • 0.5 cup toasted walnuts
  • 0.25 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 tbsp sherry vinegar
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small head radicchio, shredded
  • 1 endive, sliced
  • 2 cups baby arugula
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Flaky sea salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Steak: Heat oven to 350°F. Season steak with salt and pepper. Heat avocado oil in a cast-iron pan over medium-high. Sear without moving 3–4 min per side until deeply golden. Roast in oven 5–7 min (depending on thickness) to medium-rare, internal temp 130°F. Rest at least 10 min.
  2. Romesco: Blend all ingredients except olive oil in a food processor until smooth. With motor running, stream in olive oil. Add a splash of water if too thick.
  3. Salad: Toss radicchio, endive, and arugula with lemon juice and olive oil. Season with flaky salt and black pepper.
  4. Slice steak and serve over greens with a generous spoonful of romesco.
