With garlicky Dijon dressing and a base of crunchy arugula, this steak salad checks all the flavour boxes.
1 1-in. thick beef flank steak, (about 500 g), at room temperature
6 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 tsp salt, divided
1/2 tsp pepper, divided
1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbsp sherry vinegar
1 283-g pkg multicoloured cherry tomatoes
2 tsp grainy Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 142-g pkg baby arugula
Position rack in centre of oven and preheat to 250F. Rub each side of steak with 1 tbsp oil, and then 1⁄2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper, and place on a rack on a baking sheet.
Roast until rare or until internal temperature reaches 110F, about 20 min. Remove from oven.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over high. Sear steak until dark-brown, 1 to 2 min per side. Transfer to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp oil and onion to pan. Cook until onion is softened, about 3 min. Stir in garlic, vinegar and tomatoes. Cook until tomatoes burst, 2 to 3 min.
Whisk remaining 2 tbsp oil, remaining juices from steak plate, Dijon and oregano in a large bowl. Toss in tomato mixture and arugula to coat. Divide salad among plates and top with thinly sliced steak.
