HANGER STEAK WITH CHARRED ONION SAUCE
½ cup crushed or coarsely chopped walnuts
1 small garlic clove
9 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 1½-lb. hanger steak, cut into 4 pieces, center membrane removed
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
¾ tsp. Aleppo-style pepper, plus more for serving
12 scallions
5 tsp. sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp. chopped cornichons
1 Tbsp. chopped drained capers
1 Tbsp. whole grain mustard
¾ tsp. chopped thyme
Pinch of sugar
Flaky sea salt
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Season steaks with kosher salt and black pepper; sprinkle all over with Aleppo-style pepper. Rub with 2 Tbsp. oil and cook, turning occasionally, until deeply browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 130° for medium-rare, 10–12 minutes. Transfer steaks to a cutting board.
Wipe out skillet and reduce heat to medium. Place scallions and 1 Tbsp. oil in skillet, season with kosher salt, and cook, turning occasionally, until softened and deeply charred, about 4 minutes. Transfer to cutting board; trim and cut into 1" pieces. Add to bowl with walnut mixture along with vinegar, cornichons, capers, mustard, thyme, and sugar and toss to combine; season with kosher salt and black pepper.
Slice steak against the grain and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with scallion sauce and more Aleppo-style pepper.
BEST GRILLED SWORDFISH
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons table salt
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
2 pounds swordfish steaks, cut 1/2 inch thick
Step 1
Light a grill or preheat the broiler. In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice with the salt until the salt dissolves. Stir in the oregano. Slowly whisk in the olive oil and season generously with pepper.
Step 2
Grill the swordfish steaks over high heat (as close to the heat as possible), turning once, until cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer the fish to a platter. Prick each fish steak in several places with a fork to allow the sauce to penetrate. Using a spoon, beat the sauce, then drizzle it over the fish. Serve at once.

1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon finely chopped dill
