Ingredient IQ
A stunning herb-flecked sauce, the versatile condiment known as chimichurri hails from Argentina and Uruguay, where it’s traditionally used as an accompaniment to grilled meats. While vinegar, parsley, garlic, and olive oil are mainstay components, recipes vary widely. We’ve added fresh cilantro and nutty cumin to ours for extra deliciousness.

Instructions

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the steak

  • Pat the steak dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the steak and cook, turning frequently, until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare for top sirloins, 7 to 9 minutes for rib-eye, and 8 to 12 minutes for filet mignons. Transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes. Add more oil between batches if needed. Cut the steak into ½-inch-thick slices.
While the steak cooks and rests, prepare the salad.

2

Make the salad

  • Trim the root end from the escarole; coarsely chop the leaves.
  • Using your hands or a sharp knife, peel the tangerines; cut the tangerines in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Discard any seeds.
  • Coarsely chop the walnuts for garnish.
In a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon vinaigrette base and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, toss together the escarole, tangerines, arugula, and as much vinaigrette as you like (set aside any remaining vinaigrette for serving). Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the steak and salad to individual plates. Top each steak with 2 tablespoons chimichurri and garnish the salad with the walnuts. Serve any remaining vinaigrette and chimichurri on the side.
