Steak-and-Potato Salad

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. small new potatoes, halved
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Champagne Vinaigrette
  • 2 tsp. canola oil
  • 11/4 lb. New York strip steak
  • 4 c. arugula
  • 2 c. torn watercress
  • 2 scallions, sliced
  • 1/4 c. torn fresh dill
  • 3 oz. goat cheese, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)

Directions

  1. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold salted water by 2 inches. Cover and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and toss with ⅓ cup vinaigrette in a bowl. Let sit, stirring occasionally, until the dressing is absorbed.

  2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Cook, partially covered, until the internal temperature registers 130°F (medium-rare), 5 to 7 minutes per side, or to desired degree of doneness. Remove to a plate and allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. Add arugula, watercress, scallions, dill, and remaining vinaigrette to potatoes; gently toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Serve with steak and sprinkle with goat cheese.

  5. To make the champagne vinaigrette, whisk together ¼ cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar, 1 ½ teaspoons whole-grain Dijon mustard, 1 minced small garlic clove, and ¾ teaspoon sugar. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
