Step 1
Remove beef from fridge and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Pat beef dry with paper towels. Season generously all over with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Zest lemon into a small bowl; halve the lemon for juicing later.
Step 4
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a heavy 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~90 seconds.
Step 5
Sear beef 90 seconds per side without moving. Edges should be dark brown; center stays rare.
Step 6
Transfer beef to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes; meat will carryover-cook slightly.
Step 7
Toss arugula with 2 tbsp olive oil and juice from half the lemon in a bowl.
Step 8
Slice beef against the grain into thin strips, ~1/4 inch thick.
Step 9
Divide arugula between two plates. Arrange beef strips over arugula.
Step 10
Drizzle with remaining lemon juice. Sprinkle lemon zest and fleur de sel over top. Serve immediately.
