Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons zaatar
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Four 6-ounce hanger steaks
1 1/2 pounds baby red potatoes
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon white miso
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon drained capers
2 cups medium diced heirloom or vine ripe tomatoes
1 cup sliced Persian cucumber
1/4 cup mixed olives, sliced in half
1 cup crumbled feta

Steps:

  • Combine zaatar, oregano, cumin and a generous pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle in 1/4 cup olive oil until a thick paste forms. Rub the steaks with the spice mixture and let sit at room temperature for 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 2 inches. Season water generously with salt and bring to a low boil over medium heat. Let cook until the potatoes are slightly tender but not cooked through entirely, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, and once cool enough to handle, thread 4 or 5 potatoes on each of 5 metal skewers.
