Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

Steak:
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, smashed
8 (1-inch thick) slices of Italian bread
1 porterhouse steak (about 2 pounds)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh Arugula
Tomato-Olive Relish:
2 vine-ripened tomatoes, diced
3 tablespoons pitted and chopped Nicoise olives
2 tablespoons finely sliced basil
2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Skillet Fries:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
1 large red pepper, finely diced
1 large yellow pepper, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 large Yukon Gold potatoes, skin on, parboiled and diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

Mix together 1/4 cup of olive oil and the garlic and let rest for 30 minutes. Preheat broiler. Brush both sides of the bread with the garlic oil, place on a baking sheet and broil for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until lightly golden brown. Heat grill pan over high heat until smoking. Brush steak on both sides with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown on 1 side; turn over, reduce heat to medium and continue cooking to medium-rare doneness, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat, let rest 10 minutes and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices. Combine all ingredients for the Tomato-Olive Relish in a bowl. To assemble, place arugula leaves on 4 slices of toast. Top with several slices of steak and a large spoonful of relish. Top with remaining bread slices. For Skillet Fries, heat olive oil in a medium cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft. Add peppers and garlic and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add potatoes and cook until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper and parsley.
