  • 1 bunch scallions, halved crosswise and sliced lengthwise
  • 5 to 6 tablespoons EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 large cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
  • 2 sirloin steaks, each about 1 1/2 inches thick, at room temperature
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • Juice of 1 1/2 lemons, divided

Yield

Serves: 4

Preparation

Preheat a griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Place the celery and scallions in a bowl of ice water.
 
In a small skillet, heat the EVOO, five turns of the pan, over low to medium-low.  Add the garlic in a single layer and cook until light golden, 3 to 5 minutes.  Using a fork, transfer the garlic to a paper towel.  Pour the EVOO into a small dish and let cool.
 
Pat the steaks dry, brush with the garlic-infused EVOO then season with kosher salt, pepper and rosemary. Add the steaks to the hot griddle and cook, turning occasionally, to desired doneness, 10 minutes for medium-rare. Sear the edges then remove from heat and steaks crosswise against the grain. Douse with the juice of half a lemon, sprinkle with sea salt.
 
Drain the celery and scallions. Toss with the parsley, mushrooms, juice of 1 lemon, sea salt, pepper and cheese. Serve the steak with the salad alongside.
