Fill a medium saucepan about halfway with water, cover, and bring to a boil.
Peel and finely dice the shallots. Grate zest from the lemon. In a large bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the shallot, lemon zest and juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
2 shallots
zest and juice of 1 lemon
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Wash the green beans, trim ends, and halve.
1 ½ lb green beans
Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook until bright green and tender-crisp, 3-4 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water to prevent further cooking. Set aside to drain and cool.
Heat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
1 ½ lb ribeye steak
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Coat the grill or skillet with oil. Add the steak and cook until desired doneness, 2-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil.
2 tbsp virgin coconut oil
Wash the tomatoes and parsley. Halve the tomatoes and add to the dressing. Shave the parsley leaves off the stems; discard the stems, mince the leaves, and add to the bowl.
1 pint grape tomatoes
1 small bunch Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
Add the green beans to the bowl and toss to coat.
To serve, place the steak and salad on a plate. Enjoy!
