For a unique, Spanish-style spin on beloved Italian panzanella (or bread salad), you’ll make croutons from crispy pan-toasted baguette, then toss them with vegetables and a creamy romesco mayo to serve alongside smoky seared steaks.

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the tomatoes; place in a large bowl. Add the vinegar and raisins; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Large dice the baguettes. Halve and peel the onion; cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges. Cut the scallions crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then cut lengthwise into 2-inch pieces. In a bowl, combine the romesco sauce and mayonnaise.
Place the onion wedges, pepper pieces, and scallion pieces on a sheet pan; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer. Roast 12 to 14 minutes, or until the vegetables are lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
Meanwhile, in a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the diced baguettes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 7 to 9 minutes, or until browned and toasted. Transfer to the bowl of seasoned tomatoes. Wipe out the pan.
Pat the steak dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and the spice blend. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned steak. Cook, turning occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer to a separate sheet pan. Roast in the oven 5 to 9 minutes for medium-rare (125°F), or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 10 minutes.
*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for steak. Cook the steak an additional 2 to 3 minutes to achieve this.
Consuming raw or undercooked meat, poultry, fish, seafood or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.
While the steaks rest, to the bowl of seasoned tomatoes and croutons, add the roasted vegetables and romesco mayo; toss to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
Find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the rested steak; slice crosswise against the grain. Serve the sliced steak with the panzanella. Garnish with the almonds and cheese. Enjoy!
