Preparation

Step 1

Preparation

For tapenade:

Stir 1/3 cup olive oil, next
4 ingredients, and anchovy, if using, in a
small bowl. Add more olive oil for a thinner
tapenade, if desired. (For a smoother
sauce, purée tapenade in a food processor
or blender.) Set aside.

For steak:

Place steak in a large baking dish
and season generously with salt. Stir orange
zest and juice and remaining 6 ingredients
in a small bowl to combine. Spread mixture
evenly over both sides of steak and let
marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.

Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill,
or heat a gas grill to high. Grill steak, turning
once, until nicely charred, about 5 minutes
on each side for medium-rare. Transfer to a
carving board and let rest for 5-10 minutes.

For tomatoes:

Arrange tomatoes on a serving
platter. Scatter shallot and parsley over;
drizzle with oil and season with salt and
pepper. In a medium bowl, toss watercress
with 1 tablespoon each oil and lemon juice.
Season watercress to taste with salt.

Mound watercress on platter. Slice steak
against the grain; transfer to platter with
tomatoes and watercress. Spoon tapenade
on steak and serve alongside.
