Directions
To make the dressing, puree all ingredients in a blender.
Sauté, broil, or grill steak to medium rare (145°F). Cool to room temperature. Remove any fat and slice thin. Add to a mixing bowl and mix lightly with sliced olives, red peppers, olive oil, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Divide the contents of the mixing bowl with the steak and spoon onto the endive leaves. Top each with half a fig. Arrange on a platter lined with the greens. Spoon dressing over all and serve.
