Herbed Steak With Arugula And Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch; add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender throughout, about 10 minutes. Drain, cool slightly and then halve or quarter if large.
• While the potatoes cook, season the steak generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook, turning once, until brown on both sides and cooked to desired doneness, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes and reserve the skillet for making the vinaigrette.
• Bring 1/4 cup water and the paprika to a boil in the reserved skillet over medium-high heat, scraping up any brown bits, until slightly reduced, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar, mustard, soy sauce, Worcestershire and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
• Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Pour any accumulated juices into the skillet with the vinaigrette. Divide the arugula, tomatoes and potatoes among 4 large plates or bowls. Top with the sliced steak and evenly drizzle with the vinaigrette.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Slice off the 4 long sides of each of the sweet potatoes so the potatoes are squared off and sit flat on a cutting board. Slice the potatoes lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick planks, about 5-inches-by-2-inches (you should get 3 planks per sweet potato). Combine the sweet potatoes, olive oil and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl and toss gently to coat. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast, flipping halfway through, until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. Remove the sweet potato toasts to 2 plates.
• Divide the peppers among the toasts, then top with the steak. In a small bowl, toss the arugula with a drizzle of olive oil and dash of hot sauce, then distribute over the steak. Season each toast with salt and a couple grinds of black pepper. Serve immediately.
