Steps
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment.
- Toss the potato with one-third of the olive oil, the rosemary, one-third of the salt and one-third of the black pepper; spread on the pan and roast 15 minutes.
- Toss the mushrooms with the potato on the pan and roast 15 minutes more, until the potatoes are golden and tender; let cool slightly.
- While the vegetables roast, season the flank steak with one-third of the salt and one-third of the black pepper.
- Heat one-third of the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak 4 to 6 minutes per side until it reaches 145°F (63°C); rest it 3 minutes on a board, then slice thinly across the grain and chop into bite-size pieces.
- Make the vinaigrette: whisk the balsamic, mustard, garlic, the remaining one-third of the salt and the remaining one-third of the black pepper, then whisk in the remaining one-third of the olive oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the spinach, bell pepper, red onion, roasted potato and mushrooms, and the chopped steak.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the salad, toss well, top with the parmesan and serve.
