Ingredients

1/3 cup flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped

1 tablespoon small capers, rinsed, finely chopped if large

1 tablespoon minced shallot

2 teaspoons white-wine vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Coarse salt and ground pepper

3 teaspoons vegetable oil

1 strip steak (6 to 8 ounces and 1 inch thick)

4 ounces green beans, ends trimmed

Preparation

For the salsa verde: In a small bowl, mix together parsley, capers, shallot, vinegar, mustard, and 1 tablespoon water; season with salt and pepper.

For the steak: In a small skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high. Season steak generously with salt and pepper. Cook, turning once, until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove steak from pan; let rest 5 minutes. Serve with sauce.

For the green beans: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring 1 inch salted water to boil over high heat. Add green beans; cover. Cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain beans, place on a plate, and drizzle with remaining teaspoon oil. Season with salt and pepper.
