Ingredients
- 1 medium red onion, sliced into rings
- 1 1/2 pounds skirt steak, patted dry
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 bunches baby turnips, trimmed and quartered, or 3 medium turnips, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 12-ounce can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
- 2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 4 fresh basil leaves, torn
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Grill the onion rings until charred, about 2 minutes per side. If the steak is too large to fit in the pan, cut it in half. Combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl, then brush over the meat. Grill the steak until slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turnips and cook until fork-tender, about 8 minutes. Add the black-eyed peas and tomatoes and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Stir in the onion rings and vinegar and remove from the heat.
- Cut the steak into 3-inch-long sections along the grain, then thinly slice the meat against the grain. Stir the basil and chives into the black-eyed peas and serve with the steak.

Reviews
I made this recipe using frozen NY Strip steaks and did it all in my black iron skillet – 4 min. of each side for rare; 5 min. on each side for medium rare. However, I eliminated the side dish of turnips, peas, etc. because of no interest. The seasoning for the steak was what was so delicious that it will become the way I’ll prepare steaks from now on. Yum!
The black-eyed peas with tomatoes and onions made a wonderful substitute for the usual baked potato.
