Don’t toss those carrot greens! Instead, take a simply grilled flank steak to a new level with a brightly flavored carrot top salsa. The salsa comes together easily in a mini food processor. If you don’t have enough carrot tops, you can substitute half of them with fresh flat-leaf parsley. Serve this delicious flank steak with mixed vegetables or roasted potatoes.

Instructions

  1. Off heat, coat grill rack or grill pan with nonstick spray. Preheat gas grill or grill pan to medium-high, or prepare medium-high fire in charcoal grill.
  2. Season steak with salt and black pepper. Grill steak until desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steak to cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
  3. While steak is resting, in mini food processor, pulse carrot greens, shallot, capers, garlic, tarragon, anchovy paste, and mustard until coarsely chopped. Add oil and pulse just to combine. Transfer to small bowl. Stir in 1 to 2 tsp water to thin salsa slightly.
