Niçoise Toast image

Fried bread is our contribution to the classic Niçoise. And this recipe is the moment to splurge on the best-quality tuna (we love Ortiz brand) you can afford-it makes all the difference in a simple preparation like this. The meaty, sustainably caught Spanish tuna packed in buttery olive oil is worth the splurge.

This was a waste of time. The steak was tough and the sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The steak was cooked well, but the sauce lacked flavor. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had added some more spices or herbs.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The steak was cooked well and the sauce was flavorful, but it was just a bit too heavy for me.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great! I used a flank steak, and it was cooked perfectly. The sauce was also very tasty. I served it over rice.

This was a delicious and easy recipe! It was the perfect way to use up leftover steak. I served it on toasted sourdough bread with a side of roasted vegetables.
