Serves 3

Ingredients:

2 pieces of good-quality steak (recommendations: ribeye, sirloin, or scotch fillet)

Mixed lettuce leaves

Cherry tomatoes

Avocado

Red onion

Corn

Cucumber, cooked & cooled

Feta

Potatoes

Butter

Salt

Pepper

Salad Dressing:

1 bunch of coriander

½ cup plain yogurt

1 garlic clove, minced

Juice of 2 limes

1 teaspoon honey

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

Salt to taste

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

2. Roast the potatoes: Cut into bite size pieces, season with EVOO, salt and pepper and some garlic. Roast in oven for 40 minutes or until crispy & browned on the outside.

3. Cook the Steak: Season the steak with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a pan over high heat. Melt butter in the pan. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side (or to your desired doneness). Let it rest for a few minutes. Slice thinly.

4. Prepare the salad: Wash and dry the lettuce leaves, then place them in a large salad bowl. Chop cherry tomatoes, avocado, red onion, corn, cucumber, and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Crumble the feta over the top. Set aside.

5. Make the Dressing: In a blender, combine coriander, yogurt, garlic, lime juice, honey, EVOO, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.

6. Assemble the Salad: Layer the sliced steak over the prepared salad. Drizzle with the coriander-lime dressing. Toss lightly to combine or serve with dressing on the side.

   
   

Enjoy this healthy, balanced, and flavourful meal that’s sure to be a hit with the whole family!

Tip: The best part of this salad is you can select any salad ingredients you desire.

Also, make extra as this is a perfect lunch for the following day. If having for lunch next day, keep salad dressing on the side until ready to eat to avoid veggies going mushy.
