Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 2 ciabatta rolls, cut into cubes (about 5 cups)
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup sliced radishes
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons capers, plus 2 tablespoons brine from the jar
- 1 1/4 pounds skirt steak
- 6 cups baby arugula
Directions
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bread cubes and cook until crisp and slightly golden, turning as needed, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, tossing, until the garlic is slightly golden, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a large bowl; wipe out the skillet. Add the radishes, tomatoes, basil, capers and caper brine to the bowl and toss to combine.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper, add to the pan and sear until browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn and sear until browned on the other side, 3 to 5 more minutes. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
Add the arugula and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the bowl with the salad and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice the steak against the grain and divide among plates. Serve with the salad.

This recipe is restaurant worthy. Very easy to make with things in your pantry. I followed the recipe exactly and what resulted was a great meal. This is full of flavor for the limited amount of ingrediants. I will be making this again.

Yumm!!! It was so easy to make and full of flavor. I didn't have fresh basil so i had to use dried basil. I did one thing different I cook the tomatoes on the pan for about 1 minute with olive oil, salt. pepper , and dried basil to bring both the tomatoes and basil to the next level...so it ended up being a warm salad. It was a big hit my husband hates tomatoes but he ate this salad right up tomatoes and all. thanks food network.
