Cookware

chef's knife · cutting board · grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · salad spinner (optional) · tongs · whisk or fork

Directions

  1. Whisk together vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl; reserve half in a separate small bowl.
  2. Coat the steak with the remaining sauce in the bowl.
  3. Warm a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Wash, core, and slice the pear into thin wedges; peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons.
  5. Lightly oil the grill or skillet, then arrange the pear and onion. Cook until lightly browned and tender, about 2–3 minutes per side; transfer to a large bowl.
  6. Cook the steak in the same pan until it reaches your preferred level of doneness, about 2–5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and loosely tent with foil to rest.
  7. Wash and dry the arugula; add it to the bowl with the pear and onion and toss to combine.
  8. Crumble the goat cheese over the salad components.
  9. To serve, place the rested steak atop the salad, sprinkle with goat cheese, and drizzle with the reserved sauce from the small bowl.

Two tips

  • Make the sauce ahead and refrigerate; rewarm briefly before serving.
  • Store leftovers separately: keep the steak and salad in covered containers and reassemble at serving time.
