You’ll come away with a very tender, very evenly cooked, medium-rare steak with a browned, well-seasoned exterior (if you love your steak rare, however, this probably isn’t going to work for you).

Slow-Cooked Rib Eye Topped with Spicy Harissa Carrots

Serves 2 to 4

For the steak:

• 2tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• One2-inch-thick bone-in rib eye, at room temperature
• Salt and pepper
• Equipment: 1 heavy-bottomed and ideally well-seasoned cast iron pan

1. Put the pan on the lowest heat you can and place the 2 tablespoons of oil in the pan. Place the room temperature steak on the pan and cook at low heat for 20 minutes.
2. Flip the steak and season the cooked side heavily with salt and pepper. Cook the other side of the steak at the same equally low temperature for 15 minutes.
3. Remove the steak from the pan, seasoning the other side. Turn up the heat to hot, add the steak back to the pan, and sear each side for just 3 minutes per side, until a nice brown crust has been achieved. You are looking to keep the steak a perfect medium-rare; if you’d prefer to track the time by internal temperature, make sure it gets up to 130° F inside but not more.
4. Let the steak rest about five minutes, slice in 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve with this spicy grated carrot salad on top.

For the spicy grated salad:

• 2 to 4medium carrots, peeled
• 1teaspoon sea salt
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1tablespoon harissa (as always, I prefer the occasionally elusive Moulin Mahjoub harissa)
• 2tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

1. Grate the carrots on a mandoline or box grater and season with the salt and lemon juice.
2. Let the carrots marinate in the lemon juice and salt for about 5 minutes. Dress with the harissa, olive oil, and parsley.
3. Serve piled on top of the sliced steak with all the juices from the marinade.
