Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups frozen French fries (about half a 22-ounce bag)
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 pound strip steak (3/4- to 1-inch thick)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
2 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
8 ounces baby arugula (about 12 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Toss the fries with 1 teaspoon of the paprika. Lay out in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until crispy, about 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the steak with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the steak and cook, flipping once, until brown on both sides and cooked to desired doneness, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board (reserve the skillet) and let rest 5 minutes.
  • Add 1/4 cup water and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon paprika to the skillet and boil over medium-high heat, scraping up any brown bits, until slightly reduced, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat stir in the mustard, vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
  • Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Pour any accumulated juices into the skillet with the vinaigrette in the skillet. Toss the arugula and vinaigrette together in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the salad, steak and French fries among 4 plates.

I'm not a huge fan of arugula, but I loved it in this salad. The dressing is so flavorful that it really brings out the best in the arugula.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover steak. I also like to add some roasted vegetables, such as broccoli or cauliflower.

I'm not a huge fan of arugula, but I loved it in this salad. The bitterness was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the tomatoes and the saltiness of the steak.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The arugula and steak were perfectly complemented by the crispy French fry croutons. I'll definitely be making this again.
