Ingredients:
1 pound(s) slender green beans, trimmed |
6 cup(s) arugula (about 6 ounces) |
4 cup(s) cherry tomatoes, halved |
1 1/4 cup(s) pitted kalamata olives or other brine-cured black olives, halved |
1/2 cup(s) plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided |
3 tablespoon(s) balsamic vinegar |
3 8- to 9- ounce(s) angus beef new york strip steaks |
1 cup(s) blue cheese crumbles |
Directions:
1. Cook green beans in boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain. Immediately plunge into ice water. Drain when cooled.
2. Preheat grill pan or grill to medium-high (350°F to 400°F). In a large bowl combine beans, arugula, tomatoes and olives. For dressing, whisk together 1/2 cup of the oil plus vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Brush steaks with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper to taste. Place steaks on grill. Grill 4 to 5 minutes per side (145°F for medium-rare) or to desired doneness. Remove from grill and let stand 5 minutes before slicing across the grain into strips.
4. Toss green bean salad with enough dressing to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place salad on 6 individual plates. Top with steak strips, sprinkle with cheese, and serve.
