Pan searing a steak is a quick and easy way to cook a delicious, flavorful steak. The high heat of the pan creates a crust on the outside of the steak, while the inside remains juicy and tender. Salsa verde is a bright, herbaceous sauce that is the perfect accompaniment to pan seared steak. It is made with fresh parsley, capers, anchovies, and olive oil, and it adds a bright, tangy flavor to the steak. In this article, we'll provide you with a recipe for pan seared steak with salsa verde, as well as tips on how to cook the perfect steak. We recommend using a well-marbled steak, such as a ribeye or strip steak.

Steps:
- For the salsa verde: In a small bowl, mix together parsley, capers, shallot, vinegar, mustard, and 1 tablespoon water; season with salt and pepper.
- For the steak: In a small skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high. Season steak generously with salt and pepper. Cook, turning once, until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove steak from pan; let rest 5 minutes. Serve with sauce.
- For the green beans: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring 1 inch salted water to boil over high heat. Add green beans; cover. Cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain beans, place on a plate, and drizzle with remaining teaspoon oil. Season with salt and pepper.

BUTCHER'S STEAK WITH LEAFY GREENS SALSA VERDE
Butcher's steak is the name of a specific cut of steak, also known as hanger steak (and, occasionally, bistro steak). It's a cut that hangs off the cow's diaphragm, resulting in a steak that has the beefy flavor of a short rib, the fat marbling of a rib-eye and the tenderness of filet mignon. There is only one per animal, making it somewhat exclusive but not especially expensive. It is also a term used for the secret-ish cuts typically available only to butchers and restaurants; but a good butcher will gladly help you unlock those secrets. Other lesser-known, surprisingly affordable cuts that work well here include boneless short ribs, Denver steaks and center-cut top sirloin. These cuts are great with little more than salt and pepper, so you can truly assess their flavor. But a tangy, garlicky salsa verde made from dark leafy greens doesn't hurt. Serve with a squeeze of lemon and a bowl of salty potato chips for a truly faux-bistro experience.

Steps:
- Season steak well with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Cut 4 of the scallions into 2-inch pieces; set aside. Finely chop remaining scallions and add to a medium bowl with kale, garlic and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. The mixture won't exactly be saucy yet, but as it sits the kale will soften and loosen up.
- Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook, without moving it, until deeply golden brown on one side, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Flip steak and continue to cook until equally browned on that side, another 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer salsa verde to a large plate, and place steak on top. Add remaining scallions to the pan, letting them sizzle in the leftover fat. Season with salt and pepper and cook until they're wilted and lightly charred, 2 or 3 minutes.
- Let steak sit 5 to 10 minutes to allow it to rest and juices to mingle with the salsa verde.
- Slice the steak and return to plate with salsa verde. Top with seared scallions. Squeeze lemon or lime over everything and sprinkle with flaky salt. Serve with potato chips, if you like.

SKIRT STEAK WITH SALSA VERDE SALAD
Salsa verde made with scallions, mint, parsley, capers and garlic becomes both the marinade for the steak and the dressing for the greens in this summery dinner salad. For extra smoky flavor, try grilling the romaine hearts (drizzle with olive oil and grill, cut side down, until lightly charred). Or, if you love bitter greens, substitute roughly chopped escarole leaves for the romaine.

Steps:
- If necessary, cut the steak crosswise into large pieces that will fit into a shallow, nonreactive dish. Transfer the steaks to the dish. In a glass measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, scallions, capers, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour about 1/3 of the dressing (about 1/3 cup) over the steak and turn to coat both sides.
- Add the parsley and 1 tablespoon mint to the reserved dressing, stir, and set aside until ready to use. Cover and refrigerate the steak for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours. (If marinating the steak overnight, cover and refrigerate the reserved dressing.)
- In a small sauté pan set over medium heat, toast the pine nuts, tossing often, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
- Set the grill to medium-high heat, or heat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and grill for 3 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with salt, and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- While the steak rests, cut the romaine hearts lengthwise into quarters. Arrange the romaine hearts in one layer on a large platter, leaving room on one side for the steak. Sprinkle the feta, pine nuts and the remaining 1 tablespoon mint over the romaine. Slice the steak crosswise into 3-inch pieces, then slice against the grain to cut the steak into wide strips. Arrange the sliced steak on the platter, then drizzle the reserved dressing over the romaine and steak. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler to high.
- Heat a large stainless steel or cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Sprinkle one side of the steak with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil to the hot pan and heat. Add the steak seasoned-side down and sprinkle the other side with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees F, about 7 minutes per side; the steak will keep cooking as it rests. Let it rest for 7 to 10 minutes.
- While the steak is resting, add the mint, parsley, capers, vinegar and anchovies to a food processor (or chop and add to a bowl). Pulse until finely chopped. Add the lemon juice and remaining oil and pulse until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Put the salsa into a bowl.
- Slice steak into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Layer the grated cheese on the cut sides of the bread loaves. Broil until melted and bubbly.
- Evenly layer the steak, salsa verde and arugula on the bread. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in food processor and pulse-process into finely chopped condiment. Serve over sliced steak.
Tips:
- Choose a high-quality steak for best results. Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have good marbling.
- Pat the steak dry before cooking to help it sear better.
- Season the steak generously with salt and pepper, or use your favorite steak seasoning.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or grill pan for cooking the steak. This will help to create a good sear and prevent the steak from sticking.
- Sear the steak over high heat for a few minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
