  • 3 small beetroots, cooked and quartered  
  • 300g cherry tomatoes, halved 
  • 5 small potatoes, halved
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 sprinkle of herbs of choice 
  • Pinch salt & pepper 
  • 100g feta cheese 

Honey Mustard Dressing 

  • ¼ cup olive oil 
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar 
  • 1 tbsp honey 
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard 
  • 2 tsp wholegrain mustard 
  • 1 pinch salt & pepper 

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 180-200°C and oil baking tray and add potatoes and red onion.
  2. Sprinkle vegies with olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic, herbs, salt and pepper. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden. 
  3. Heat frypan, add olive oil, 2nd garlic clove, herbs & your steak of choice.  Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for rare to medium rare.  
  4. Combine all dressing ingredients together in a jar & shake well. 
  5. Cook couscous as per cooking instructions.  
  6. Assemble salad on a plate or bowl with all of the ingredient, including sliced steak. Top with herbs, feta and dressing and enjoy! 
Cooking Tip: For perfectly tender steak, let it rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is flavourful and juicy. Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness!
