London Broil and String Beans Aglio e Olio
- 2 pounds boneless shoulder steak
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) (4 times around the pan), plus some for drizzling
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pounds string beans, stems and strings trimmed
- 1 2-ounce tin anchovy fillets
- 6 to 8 large garlic cloves, crushed and minced
- 1 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (a couple of handfuls)
- Preheat a broiler on high and set the rack closest to the flame.
- Fill a large skillet with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil for the beans.
- Coat the steak with the Worcestershire sauce, drizzle EVOO on it, and season with salt and pepper.
- Put the steak on a broiler pan, situate the pan on the rack closest to the flame, and broil for 6 minutes per side.
- Remove from the broiler and allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes tented under aluminum foil.
- While the steak is cooking, add a large pinch of salt to the boiling water, add the string beans, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Drain the string beans in a colander and run cold water over them to stop the cooking process.
- Dry out the skillet and place back on the burner over medium-low heat.
- Add about 1/4 cup EVOO.
- Add the anchovies, garlic, and hot red pepper flakes to the oil.
- Break up the anchovies with a wooden spoon until they melt away into the oil and garlic mixture, about 2 minutes.
- Add the cold beans to the oil, toss to coat, and cook for 1 minute, or until the beans are heated through.
- Season beans with a little salt, to taste.
- Slice the rested steak very thin, against the grain and on a slight angle.
- Serve the sliced meat alongside the string beans con aglio e olio.
