Seared Steak with Rosemary and Broccoli Rabe
- 2 steaks of your choice (6 to 10 ounces each)
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil or other cooking oil, plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 bunch (about 12 ounces) broccoli rabe leaves and stems, washed and coarsely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Crushed red pepper flakes
- Generously season the steaks with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet to very hot.
- Pour in a very small amount of olive oil (about 1 teaspoon) and immediately add the steaks to the pan.
- (If you have an exhaust fan, this is a good time to use it!)
- Sear the steaks on both sides to a nice crusty brown.
- Sprinkle steaks with half the rosemary leaves, then turn them over.
- Lower the heat and cook about 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare (for a 1-inch-thick piece of meat).
- Sprinkle with the remaining rosemary after cooking the first side.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet.
- Pour 2 tablespoons water and 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil into the skillet and swirl over the heat.
- Pour the juices over the steaks, then pour the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil into the pan and return it to the heat.
- When the skillet is hot, add the broccoli rabe and toss or stir with tongs.
- Cook over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes, then stir in the garlic, and season with salt and red pepper.
- Cook about 2 more minutes, until the stems are tender-crisp.
- Serve with the steak.
