Instructions
Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl; rub evenly over both sides of steak.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add steak; cook 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.
Let stand 5 minutes; cut steak diagonally across grain into thin slices.
Combine 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper in a large bowl; stir well with a whisk. Gradually add 2 tablespoons olive oil to vinegar mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk.
Add 6 cups arugula and 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes to dressing in bowl; toss well to coat.
Sprinkle 2 cooked and crumbled bacon slices evenly over salad.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Steak works really well with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The Goldschmidt Vineyard Alexander Valley Chelsea Merlot with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Beautiful red raspberry, black cherry, and spice aromas. Full and round with plum, red currant, blackberry, and bay leaf flavors. The soft tannins give this wine a velvety smoothness and the chocolatey finish just goes on and on.
