Method

You’ll need: frying pan · chopping board · knife

1. Sear the beef steak in a hot cast-iron frying pan for just 2 min on each side.
2. Take the meat out of the pan, wrap it in foil and leave it to rest for at least 5 min.
3. Wash the rocket, halve the cherry tomatoes and shave the parmesan into thin slices.
4. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
5. Mix the meat and veg, drizzle everything with vinegar and oil and scatter the parmesan over the top.

Good to know

Salad doesn't have to leave you hungry. With thick strips of steak and savoury cheese, it becomes a real lunch for strength athletes.

Swaps

Beef steak → turkey steak (if beef feels too heavy for you at lunchtime, the salad also tastes excellent with very lean, tender turkey breast).

Cooking tips

Really do use a very heavy pan for the steak. Thin pans cool down immediately and turn the meat grey instead of brown.

Storage

It's best to mix in the oil and the tangy balsamic just before eating, so the delicate rocket doesn't darken and wilt.
