But here it is for you now!

 

Beef Tagliata

Note: A rib-eye steak is known as a tagliata in Italy.

Cherry tomato salad:

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes per person

Chopped shallots, to taste

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil (adjust to taste depending on acidity of the tomatoes)

1 tablespoon capers

2 anchovy filets, mashed

Tagliata:

1 rib-eye steak per person, cut about 1/2-inch thick, well chilled

Salt

Olive oil

Cracked black pepper

1/4 cup arugula per person

A few shavings of Parmigiano-Reggiano per person

Olive oil, for drizzling

Lemon wedges

 

1. Place the cherry tomatoes in a bowl. Whisk the shallots, vinegar, olive oil, capers and anchovy filets together to make a vinaigrette. Gently toss with the cherry tomatoes. Set aside to marinate.

2. Oil a charcoal grill or cast iron skillet, and preheat it until it’s very, very hot. Pull your cold steak out of the refrigerator, season with salt and a little oil (no pepper right now, it will burn), lay it flat on the hot grill or pan and don’t touch it. (If you are using a skillet, cook the steaks one at a time so there’s no crowding.) Cook the steak for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes so the outside has a caramel crust and the inside is rare to medium-rare. Remove the steaks to a plate, crack some pepper over the steaks, and let rest 5 minutes.

3. Place the steaks on a serving platter or individual plates. Top with tomato salad. Toss the arugula with any leftover vinaigrette and meat juices, and place on top of the tomatoes, with the Parmigiano-Reggiano, a drizzle of good olive oil and lemon wedges.

4. Enjoy!
