Ingredients
8 oz. grass-fed flank steak, trimmed
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 small head romaine lettuce, chopped (about 4 cups)
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 celery stalks, cut into 1/2-inch dice
3 radishes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
Directions
1Combine the steak, mustard, 1 teaspoon of the oil, and the rosemary in a medium bowl.
2Heat a grill pan over medium heat until hot.
3Season the steak with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper, and add it to the pan: Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side or medium-rare, or to desired doneness.
4Transfer to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes.
5While the steak rests, combine the lettuce, cucumber, bell pepper, celery, radishes, onion, vinegar, and the remaining 4 teaspoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a separate bowl.
6Cut the steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Divide the salad between two plates, and top it with the steak
