Steak and Beetroot Salad
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp mixed seeds pumpkin, sunflower, sesame and linseed
- Pinch of chilli powder or dried chilli flakes optional
- 1 tbsp rapeseed or olive oil
- 250 g 8oz sirloin steak
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4-6 baby beetroot
- 1 ripe avocado
- Large handful of flat-leaf parsley leaves
- Vinaigrette dressing
- French bread to serve
Instructions
- Heat a frying pan, add the seeds, with some chilli, if you like, and cook for about 1 min, until they start to toast and pop. Tip them into a bowl or on to kitchen paper.
- Heat the pan again (or a griddle) over a high heat. Rub 1 tsp oil over the steak, season well and sear for 2-4 mins on each side, or to your liking (but we think this tastes better if the steak is medium-rare). Take off and leave on a chopping board, loosely covered, to rest for 5-10 mins.
- Cut the beetroot into quarters and mix with the rest of the oil in a salad bowl. Halve, stone, peel and slice the avocado and add to the beetroot, along with the parsley leaves.
- Thinly slice the steak and serve separately with the salad or tuck pieces of steak into the salad. Drizzle with vinaigrette and serve with French bread.
Notes
Leaving the steak to rest after cooking makes it nice and juicy
