Ingredients
1 flank steak, (about 680 g) at room temperature
1/3 cup plus 1 tbsp olive oil, divided
5 tsp anchovy paste, divided
1 tbsp Dijon mustard, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 egg yolk
3 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup finely grated parmesan, plus shaved curls for garnish
1 large bunch kale, leaves thinly sliced (10 cups)
1 341-g pkg multicoloured cherry tomatoes, halved (2 cups)
Instructions
SCORE steak on both sides in a grid pattern, about ¼ in. deep. Whisk 1 tbsp oil, 2 tsp anchovy paste and 1 tsp Dijon in a small bowl. Rub steak with mixture and set aside. Preheat barbecue to medium-high.
OIL grill. Cook steak, lid open, 8 to 10 min for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand, loosely tented with foil, for 10 min before slicing across the grain.

Kitchen tip: Freeze the egg white for future use in baking or to make an egg white omelette for breakfast.
Kitchen tip: Bring steak to room temperature (uncovered on the counter) for 45 min to 1 hour before cooking. Grilling your steak from room temperature allows for more even cooking throughout. By leaving it uncovered, you allow the exterior to dry out, which helps create a better sear and thus better flavour.
