Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb. flank steak
- 1 16-oz. bottle vinaigrette
- 2 Tbs. Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp. anchovy paste (optional)

Whisk together vinaigrette, mustard, and, if desired, anchovy paste. Pour 1/2 cup mixture in a shallow dish or heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; reserve remaining mixture. Add flank steak to dish or bag, cover or seal, and chill 1 hour, turning occasionally.
Cook potato in boiling water to cover in a large saucepan 10 to 12 minutes or until tender; drain and toss with 1/2 cup reserved vinaigrette mixture. Set aside.
