Dressing
Spin all ingredients except oil with an immersion blender until onions and garlic are broken down, then stream in neutral oil. Once emulsified, stop blending, add in evoo, and stir in to combine.
Cook Steak
Season both sides of steak generously with salt and pepper. Preheat medium nonstick pan over medium heat. Add long drizzle of olive oil followed by steak. Press meat into pan for about 30 seconds. Cook for 5-6 minutes on side 1. After 5min or when side 1 has developed nice color, flip steak to side 2, add a bit more oil, and continue to cook for about 4-5 more minutes until temp reaches about 125F/52c (for med rare). Allow to rest for about 15 minutes. Slice.
Toast Seeds
Wipe out pan and heat over high and add 45g or about 1/3c neutral oil. When hot, add pumpkin seeds and a pinch of salt. Allow to fry for 30-45 seconds, stirring frequently. The seeds are done when beginning to turn golden in color and puff. Placed fried seeds on a layer of paper towels to drain and cool.
Build Salad
To build salad, layer handful of arugula, a sprinkle of corn, chopped roasted red bell peppers, and avocado. Feta, fried pepitas. Add 4oz of sliced steak, and top with chili lime vinaigrette
