Method

Step 1: Sear the steak

Salt the steak all over and let it rest while you preheat a sauté pan over medium high heat.

Once the pan is hot, add a drizzle of oil to coat the cooking surface.

Add the steak to the pan and let it for several minutes, allowing a nice brown crust to develop. Then flip the steak over and let it sear on the other side.

  • Remove when cooked to your desired temperature. For medium well, pull the steak when the middle reaches 135°F/57°C

Step 2: Make the vinaigrette

Combine all the vinaigrette components in a small bowl and mix together until .

Taste & adjust the seasoning how you want.

Step 3: Slice the steak & dress it

Thinly slice the steak against the grain.

Pour over about half of the dressing onto the steak and sprinkle it with sesame seeds. Toss it all together with a fork.

Step 4: Assemble & enjoy

Grab several of the lettuce leaves and lay them out. Add the slices of steak to the lettuce cups & enjoy.

“The steak serves as a vessel for the citrusy & garlicky dressing (feel free to use whatever kind of citrus you like here).”
