Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season steak on all sides with salt and pepper. Sear steak in the hot skillet until evenly browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and finish cooking in the oven until cooked to desired doneness, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove steak from oven, set aside to rest for 5 minutes.

  3. Place nectarines in the same skillet over high heat. Sear until caramelized and charred on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes.

  4. Whisk together shallot, red wine vinegar, and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a large salad bowl to make vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. Add spring mix and basil to the vinaigrette, toss to combine.

  5. Thinly slice steak against the grain on a cutting board. Arrange steak, nectarines, feta, and pecans over salad.
