Pan-Seared Flank Steak With Peaches And Dandelion Greens Recipe

• One 1- to 1 1/2-pound (450 to 680g) flank steak
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or other neutral oil (1 ounce; 30g)

Using a large spoon, baste steak with butter until it is 5u0b0F away from your desired final temperature, about 4 minutes. Remove steak to a sheet tray fitted with a wire rack, pouring butter and aromatics over steak. Set aside to rest.
4. Return same pan to high heat and place peaches in pan, pressing cut sides of peaches onto the brown bits developed from cooking the steak. Sear peaches until golden brown, about 1 minute.
5. Add 1/2 cup (120ml) water to pan and use it to scrape up all the browned bits from the pan to form a pan sauce. Add Calabrian chili, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of the steak drippings to the pan, simmering and swirling to emulsify the sauce. Add dandelion greens and cook until gently wilted, about 1 minute. Slice steak and serve right away with greens, peaches, and sauce.
