Instructions
- In a pot with a steamer basket, bring water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and steam for about 15 minutes until tender.
- While the potatoes are steaming, season the beef steak with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest.
- In the same pot, add the sliced carrots and green beans to the steamer for the last 5 minutes of the potato cooking time.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, chopped parsley, chives, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
- Once the vegetables are done, slice the beef thinly against the grain. In a large bowl, combine the steamed potatoes, carrots, green beans, and beef. Drizzle with the herbed vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
