London Broil and String Beans Aglio e Olio

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless shoulder steak
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) (4 times around the pan), plus some for drizzling
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds string beans, stems and strings trimmed
1 2-ounce tin anchovy fillets
6 to 8 large garlic cloves, crushed and minced
1 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper flakes
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (a couple of handfuls)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat a broiler on high and set the rack closest to the flame.

    Step 2

    Fill a large skillet with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil for the beans.

    Step 3

    Coat the steak with the Worcestershire sauce, drizzle EVOO on it, and season with salt and pepper. Put the steak on a broiler pan, situate the pan on the rack closest to the flame, and broil for 6 minutes per side. Remove from the broiler and allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes tented under aluminum foil.

    Step 4

    While the steak is cooking, add a large pinch of salt to the boiling water, add the string beans, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the string beans in a colander and run cold water over them to stop the cooking process. Dry out the skillet and place back on the burner over medium-low heat. Add about 1/4 cup EVOO. Add the anchovies, garlic, and hot red pepper flakes to the oil. Break up the anchovies with a wooden spoon until they melt away into the oil and garlic mixture, about 2 minutes. Add the cold beans to the oil, toss to coat, and cook for 1 minute, or until the beans are heated through. Season beans with a little salt, to taste.

    Step 5

    Slice the rested steak very thin, against the grain and on a slight angle. Serve the sliced meat alongside the string beans con aglio e olio.
