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!
