London Broil and String Beans Aglio e Olio

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Preheat a broiler on high and set the rack closest to the flame.

   Step 2

   Fill a large skillet with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil for the beans.

   Step 3

   Coat the steak with the Worcestershire sauce, drizzle EVOO on it, and season with salt and pepper. Put the steak on a broiler pan, situate the pan on the rack closest to the flame, and broil for 6 minutes per side. Remove from the broiler and allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes tented under aluminum foil.

   Step 4

   While the steak is cooking, add a large pinch of salt to the boiling water, add the string beans, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the string beans in a colander and run cold water over them to stop the cooking process. Dry out the skillet and place back on the burner over medium-low heat. Add about 1/4 cup EVOO. Add the anchovies, garlic, and hot red pepper flakes to the oil. Break up the anchovies with a wooden spoon until they melt away into the oil and garlic mixture, about 2 minutes. Add the cold beans to the oil, toss to coat, and cook for 1 minute, or until the beans are heated through. Season beans with a little salt, to taste.

   Step 5

   Slice the rested steak very thin, against the grain and on a slight angle. Serve the sliced meat alongside the string beans con aglio e olio.
