Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Prep and cook the steaks; rub with garlic

Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
Cut 1 garlic clove [2 garlic cloves] in half. Save any remaining garlic for another use.

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches and adding more oil if needed, add the steaks and cook, turning frequently, until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare for top sirloins, 7 to 9 minutes for rib-eyes, and 8 to 12 minutes for filet mignons. Transfer to a cutting board, rub the steak all over with the cut sides of the garlic, and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut the steaks into ½-inch-thick slices. Do not clean the pan.

While the steaks are cooking and resting, prepare the kale and vegetables.

Prep the kale and vegetables

Strip the kale leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
Peel the onion and cut into quarters.
Cut away the core from the tomato; cut the tomato in half lengthwise.
Cut the mushrooms into quarters.

In a large bowl, combine the kale with the Italian vinaigrette, season with salt and pepper, and gently massage the leaves. Let stand while you prepare the rest of the meal.

Char the vegetables

In the same pan used for the steaks, warm 1 teaspoon oil over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and tomato, cut sides down, and cook without turning until lightly charred, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the tomato to a cutting board.

Turn the onion and cook on the other sides until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the onion to a cutting board.

In the same pan, if dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Prep the basil; assemble the salad

Strip the basil leaves from the stems; coarsely tear the leaves for garnish.
Thinly slice the onion and cut the tomato into bite-size pieces; season to taste with salt and pepper.

To the bowl with the kale, add the tomato, mushrooms, and as much onion as you like and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the salad to individual bowls, top with the steak slices and basil, and serve.
