  • Rinse the veal steak under running water and pat it dry with paper towels. Rub the whole piece with a little oil and season it all over with salt and ground pepper, working the seasoning in so the meat soaks up the flavor. Heat a skillet and grease it with a little oil. Lay the steak in the pan, sear it until golden, then flip and cook it through on the other side. Don't shuffle it around the pan or flip it repeatedly, or the steak can turn tough. Set the cooked meat on a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes; it'll finish cooking through and cool down a bit. While the meat rests, wash the arugula and dry the leaves with paper towels or in a salad spinner. Tear each leaf into 2 or 3 pieces, tearing by hand rather than cutting. Wash the cherry tomatoes, wipe them dry, and cut them in half. Arrange the arugula and tomato halves on serving plates, season with salt to taste, and move on to the dressing. In a deep bowl, combine the remaining olive oil, mustard, anchovy paste, vinegar, capers, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk it all together with a fork until smooth, so the ingredients blend well and the salt fully dissolves. By now the steak has cooled a little and is ready to serve. Cut it across the grain into long, wide slices; this keeps the pieces tender enough to fall apart at the touch of a fork. Lay the long strips of meat over the arugula and cherry tomatoes for a nice presentation, drizzle the dressing over the top, dividing everything evenly among the plates, and serve. Enjoy!
