Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic

  • 1 lemon, divided

  • 12 ounces fingerling potatoes

  • 8 ounces dandelion greens

  • 10 ounces skirt steak

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425F. Mince garlic, zest and halve lemon, halve potatoes lengthwise, rinse greens, and pat steak dry.

  2. Roast potatoes: toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast until golden and tender, about 20 minutes.

  3. Make aioli: combine garlic, juice of 1/2 lemon, a pinch of zest, mayonnaise, and smoked paprika. Season to taste.

  4. Make salad dressing: whisk juice of remaining 1/2 lemon, honey, and olive oil in a large bowl. Season and toss with dandelion greens.

  5. Cook steak: heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Season steak with salt and pepper and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Rest 5 to 10 minutes.

  6. Slice steak against the grain. Plate steak with potatoes and greens, and serve with paprika aioli.
