Ingredients:
1 tbsp
Dijon Mustard60 g
Sherry Vinegar3 cup
Extra-Virgin Olive Oil2 cloves
Garlic (peeled and lightly crushed)2 tbsps
Canola OilDirections:
1
In a jar or small bowl with a fitted lid, combine the Dijon mustard, sherry vinegar and olive oil with the garlic cloves
2
Add a pinch of salt
3
Cover and shake vigorously to blend
4
Taste for seasoning
5
Set aside
6
Fill a medium bowl halfway with ice cubes and add some cold water
7
Place a colander squarely inside the ice bath
8
The colander will keep you from having to pick the green beans out from amongst the ice cubes
9
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil
10
Add salt until the water tastes like seawater
11
Add a generous pinch of sugar
12
Add ALL BUT A FEW OF the green beans and cook for 2 minutes
13
Remove them from the water with a strainer and transfer them to the colander inside the ice bath
14
Allow them to sit in the ice water for a couple of minutes to assure they have cooled thoroughly
15
Discard the blanching water
16
Remove the beans from the ice bath and spread them out on a kitchen towel on a flat surface
17
Use another kitchen towel to gently pat them dry
18
This step will prevent the water from diluting the flavor of the beans and the vinaigrette
19
Transfer to a medium bowl and season with salt
20
Stir to blend
21
Remove the garlic cloves from the vinaigrette and toss with the beans, basil leaves and olives
22
Cut the reserved raw beans into 1-inch pieces and toss with the other beans
23
Heat a large cast-iron skillet
24
Add the oil
25
When it begins to smoke lightly, sprinkle the steak with salt and use a pair of metal tongs to gingerly place the steak in the hot oil
26
Cook over high heat 3 to 4 minutes on each side
27
I count 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare, depending on thickness
28
If you like your steak a little more cooked, leave it in the pan a few minutes longer on each side
29
Remove the steak and allow it to rest on a flat surface, 10 minutes
30
Slice the steak and arrange on a platter with the green bean mixture
