Instructions

1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels, then let it sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes.
2. Season the steak generously on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt and pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
4. Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy pan over high heat until very hot. Add the steak and leave it untouched for 2–3 minutes, until a deep golden crust forms.
5. Flip the steak, add the butter, and as it melts and foams, spoon the butter over the steak for 1–2 minutes.
6. Keep cooking to your preferred doneness: rare 2–3 minutes per side, medium-rare 3–4 minutes per side, medium 4–5 minutes per side. Thicker steaks need more time.
7. Rest the steak on a cutting board or plate for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
8. In a large bowl, combine the arugula, red onion and parmesan. Drizzle over the dressing and toss gently until lightly coated.
9. Slice the steak against the grain and place it on top of the salad. Serve immediately.
