Adapted from Carla Lalli Music’s recipe on youtube and in her cookbook That Sounds So Good.

Total time: 40 mins

Ingredients

Makes 2 servings

• 1 steak
• 3 anchovy fillets packed in oil
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 lemon
• 1 heaping tbsp greek yogurt, or more
• 1 heaping tbsp mayonnaise, or more
• Salt & pepper
• Arugula*
  *You can also use mixed greens instead, but IMO the bitterness of the arugula is key to the dish

Finish with

• Parmigiano reggiano, shaved

Directions

Steak

• For a cold steak salad as the original recipe intends: cook steak before you make the dressing so it has a chance to cool down a bit

Dressing

• In a mortar and pestle - smash your anchovy and garlic with a touch of kosher salt to form a paste
  • You can also just chop everything fine with a knife, but a mortar and pestle make this super easy
• Transfer paste to a bowl big enough to house the final dressing
• Zest and juice 1/2 the lemon, and add it to the paste
  • Use the remaining lemon to adjust the acidity at the end, to your taste
• Add in the greek yogurt and mayo; you can adjust the ratio and amounts to your liking
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Dressing should be very assertive

Assembly

• In a huge salad bowl - spoon the dressing on the sides of the bowl to coat
• Toss in salad greens
• Slice steak, and toss in
• Give everything a big mix, adding more dressing directly to the salad as needed
• Finish with freshly shaved parm and more black pepper
