This was surprisingly good. I was a little worried about the amount of salt and pepper, but it turned out nice, very peppery in a good way. The lemon squeezed on it was a nice touch too, and worked well with the saltiness of the steak. The foccacia salsa was also odd to me, but it too was delicious.
