Ingredients

2 pcs aged beef steak
1 pc red onion
100 g arugula
8 ml balsamic vinegar
50 ml extra virgin olive oil
50 ml sunflower oil
50 g butter
300 g cherry tomatoes
50 g Parmesan cheese
1 g salt
1 g pepper

Steps

1
Take the meat out one hour before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
2
Only season with salt and pepper just before cooking.
3
Heat a heavy pan and pour in half a deciliter of sunflower oil.
4
When it just starts to smoke, add the meat and sear one side until browned, about 2-3 minutes.
5
Then flip it and cook for 2 minutes, then add the butter to the pan and thoroughly baste the meat with the foaming butter. At this point, you can also add 1-2 sprigs of thyme and 1-2 cloves of garlic.
6
Remove the meat and let it rest for 10 minutes.
7
Meanwhile, use a vegetable peeler to make shavings from the Parmesan, cut the cherry tomatoes, and wash the arugula.
8
Serve the sliced steak with the vegetables, drizzled with Parmesan, balsamic vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil.
9
This side dish is perfect with other meats or as a standalone salad. If you like, you can slice a little red onion on top. The steak should be aged and at room temperature before cooking.
