*Our steak salad takes inspiration trom classic Malian tagliata, then skip, across continents with the addition of Peppadews, tangy peppers pron SoUth AtTica. A popular dish in Tuscany, tagliata is a simple presentation of thinly sliced, rare steak, extra-virgin olive oil, arugula and shaved Parmesan. We made ours work with an inexpensive skirt steak seasoner with a dry rub of salt, pepper and ground fennel. We then whipped up a simple lemon juice-olive oil vinaigrette. The steak got a quick sear, Then while it rested, we added thinly sliced garlic and chopped Peppadew peppers to the pan. In an unusual touch, we used half the vinaigrette to dress the arugula and the other half to deglaze the pan, creating a warm sweet-and-sour garlicky sauce that blended with the steak's juices. Pay attention to how you slice the steak. Cuts like skirt steak have longer, thicker muscle fibers than sirloin and tenderloin; they are relatively tough unless cut against the grain, which results in shorter fibers. Skirt steaks can sometimes come as long pieces; if needed, cut the meat in half to fit the pan. If you can't find skirt steak, flank, flat iron and bavette steaks all work well.
