Butcher’s Steak With Leafy Greens Salsa Verde

Step 1

Season steak well with salt and pepper and set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Let steak sit 5 to 10 minutes to allow it to rest and juices to mingle with the salsa verde.

Step 6

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.
