Lemon Pepper Steak Salad is made with lemon zest and pepper rubbed grilled steaks, roasted lemon fingerling potatoes, arugula, and homemade lemon dressing.
Scrub potatoes and cut into bite-sized pieces. Place potatoes on a sheet pan.
Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice on potatoes. Sprinkle salt and pepper on potatoes. Toss to coat and arrange potatoes in a single layer.
Bake until lightly browned and tender, about 35 to 40 minutes.
For the lemon pepper steak:
Place steak on a plate or platter. Sprinkle lemon zest and a generous amount of fresh cracked pepper on both sides of the steak. Drizzle olive oil on steak and rub to coat both sides.
Allow steak to come to room temperature with the lemon pepper oil coating, about 45 minutes (while potatoes are baking).
Heat grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F).
Season steak with salt. Grill steak until desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
All steak to rest for 10 minutes after grilling. Thinly slice diagonally and across the grain.
For the dressing:
Place garlic, shallot, mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a blender. Blend on high to combine, about 30 seconds.
Reduce speed to low and slowly pour in olive oil. Transfer to a salad dressing container or small pitcher.
For the salad:
Divide arugula evenly onto 4 plates. Top each with an equal amount of steak and potatoes.
Sprinkle an equal amount of capers and herbs on top. Garnish with lemon slices if using. Serve with lemon dressing.
