marinated hanger steak with artichoke-olive purée

scamone di manzo marinato al vino rosso


TOTAL TIME: 50 minutes

MAKES: 4 servings

Tender, wine-marinated steak is paired with a rich, mildly tart artichoke purée.

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds hanger or flank steak, about 1¼ inch thick 

1 1/4 cups light-bodied dry red wine 

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 medium shallot, thinly sliced

1 large leafy sprig rosemary, cut into 2-inch lengths

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling

2 garlic cloves, gently smashed and peeled

1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

Fine sea salt

1 (9.9-ounce) jar artichoke hearts, preferably in water, drained and quartered (1 heaping cup)

5 large green Bella di Cerignola olives or 10 smaller mild green olives, pitted

1/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley

2 tablespoons thinly sliced basil leaves

Finely grated zest from 1 lemon

Freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

5 ounces baby spinach

 

Instructions

Place steak in a single layer in a baking dish or shallow heatproof bowl. In a medium saucepan, combine wine, red wine vinegar, shallot and rosemary; bring mixture just to a boil, then pour over steak. Marinate steak, turning once, until liquid is cooled, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare purée.

In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon oil and garlic. Heat over medium-high heat 2 minutes, then remove from heat. Stir in white wine vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt (oil will bubble up a bit); let stand 10 minutes.

In the bowl of a food processor, combine artichokes, olives, parsley, basil, zest and generous pinch salt. Add warm oil mixture; purée until smooth. 

Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Pat dry steak, then season with salt and pepper. In a large cast iron or heavy skillet, melt butter with remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Cook steak 3 minutes then turn, reduce heat to medium and cook 5 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer to a large plate; let rest 10 minutes. Reserving juices, transfer steak to a cutting board. Against the grain, cut into 4 portions.

Spread about 2 tablespoons artichoke purée on each of 4 serving plates; arrange spinach on top. Drizzle greens with oil and season with salt; arrange steak on top. Drizzle juices and spoon remaining purée over steaks.

  • This recipe was great! In fact, I have used the pureed sauce with some vegetables and it really gives the vegetables like brocoli some punch.
