Why This Recipe Works

To ensure that the potatoes and green beans effectively absorb the vinaigrette, we dress them while they are still hot.

Before You Begin

Use small red potatoes measuring 1 to 2 inches in diameter.

Instructions

  1. Bring 2 quarts water to boil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and 1 1/2 tablespoons salt; return to boil and cook for 10 minutes. Add green beans and cook until both vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.
  2. Whisk 5 tablespoons oil, parsley, mustard, vinegar, shallot, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in large bowl. Add hot vegetables to bowl with dressing and toss gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Pat steaks dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook steaks until well browned and meat registers 125 degrees (for medium-rare), 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve steaks with salad.
