Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 4 flat-iron steaks or 4 strip steaks
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 large shallot, roughly chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, 1 clove grated or finely chopped and 1 clove crushed
  • 1 cup fresh parsley
  • 2 to 3 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves removed from stems
  • A small handful of fresh sage leaves, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3 tbsp. Worcestershire
  • 8 thinly sliced baby Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 4 cups chopped arugula, watercress, and/or escarole
  • Freshly grated nutmeg

Directions

  1. Heat a cast-iron skillet to high heat.

  2. Season the meat with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and bring to room temp.

  3. To a food processor bowl add the shallot, the grated or finely chopped garlic, parsley, rosemary, sage, red pepper flakes, lots of black pepper, a little salt and the Worcestershire plus about 1/4 cup olive oil. Pulse to chop the ingredients into a thick green sauce, then transfer to a bowl.

  4. Heat 2 tbsp. of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat with the crushed garlic. Remove the garlic and add the potatoes in an even layer, season with salt and pepper and cook to brown, 3 to 4 minutes on the first side. Turn and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, then add the greens to the pan and season with a little nutmeg. Turn off the heat.

  5. While the potatoes cook, throw the steaks into the hot skillet and cook for 7 to 8 minutes total for pink centers and up to 12 minutes for medium-well, turning once.

  6. Serve the steaks with the salsa verde on top and the potato-greens hash on the side.
