Directions

  1. Heat oven to 425° F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the potatoes, 2 tablespoons oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Roast until golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a food processor, finely chop the parsley, pistachios, and garlic with ¼ cup oil and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steaks with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
  4. Cook the steaks to the desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board.
  5. Wipe out the skillet. Add the broccoli rabe and ½ cup water and simmer, covered, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Slice the steak and serve with the broccoli rabe, potatoes, and pesto.

    Turnips

    Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
