tips & techniques

step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve and peel the onion; cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges. Cut the scallions crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Large dice the baguette. Halve the tomatoes; place in a large bowl. Add the vinegar and raisins; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. In a bowl, combine the romesco sauce and mayonnaise.

2 Roast the vegetables

Place the onion wedges 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.

3 Make the croutons & start the panzanella

Meanwhile, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the diced baguette; 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.

4 Cook the steaks

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and enough of the spice blend to coat (you may have extra). In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned steaks. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned. Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes for medium-rare (125°F), or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Transfer to a cutting board; let rest at least 5 minutes.

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for steak. Cook the steaks 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.

5 Make the panzanella

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.

6 Slice the steaks & serve your dish

Find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the rested steaks; slice crosswise against the grain. Serve the sliced steaks with the panzanella. Garnish with the almonds and cheese. Enjoy!
