Strip Steaks With Chili Broccolini

Serve skillet-cooked strip steaks with broccolini roasted in sesame oil and chili sauce. A quick lemon mayonnaise brings the two together.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

• 2 (1-in.-thick) strip steaks (about 1½ lb. total)

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• 2 bunches broccolini, trimmed and halved lengthwise (about 12 oz.)

• 3 tablespoons sesame oil

• 4 teaspoons sambal oelek (ground fresh chili paste) or Sriracha

• ½ cup mayonnaise

• 1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1 Tbsp. fresh juice (from 1 lemon)

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 450°F. Toss the broccolini with the sesame oil and sambal oelek or Sriracha. Spread across a baking sheet and roast for 10–12 minutes, until lightly browned with crisp edges.

2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season both steaks with the salt and pepper.

3. Cook the steaks for about 4–6 minutes per side, continuing as needed until a food thermometer reads at least 145°F. Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes before slicing across the grain.

4. Mix the mayonnaise, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Serve with the sliced steak and roasted broccolini.
