Ingredients
- 2 x 200 gram Round steaks (about 2cm thick)
- ¼ small Japanese pumpkin (peeled and cut into wedges)
- 1 small Broccoli (thickly sliced (keep the pieces large as it makes it easier to handle))
- ½ teaspoon Cracked black pepper, chilli flakes and ground coriander each
- 2 cup Coarsely torn kale (about ½ bunch)
- 1 Golden shallot (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoon Olive oil (extra virgin)
- 1 Lemon juice
- ¾ cup Flat-leaf parsley (coarsely torn)
- 2 tablespoon Roasted pepitas
Yoghurt-tahini sauce
- 4 tablespoon Natural yoghurt
- 1¼ tablespoon Tahini
- 1¼ tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1¼ tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Drizzle pumpkin with 1 tbsp olive oil, season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper and roast on a baking paper-lined oven tray, turning occasionally for about 25 minutes until browned on the edges and tender.
- Preheat a char-grill to high. Combine about 1 tbsp olive oil with pepper, chilli flakes, ground coriander and a pinch of salt, brush over steaks and set aside at room temperature while you cook the broccoli. Drizzle broccoli slices with 1 tbsp olive oil and char-grill, turning occasionally for about 8 minutes until just tender and charred a bit on the edges, then when cool enough to handle, coarsely chop and set aside. Wipe char-grill clean then cook steaks, turning once, until browned and cooked to your liking (5-6 minutes for medium-rare, 7-8 minutes for medium), transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil and set aside to rest for 5 minutes, then thickly slice.
- Mix the yoghurt-tahini sauce ingredients in a bowl to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- While the meat rests, combine the kale, shallot, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice and garlic in a large bowl, season to taste with salt and pepper and mix well with your hands until the kale starts to soften (2-3 minutes). Toss through the beef, pumpkin, chopped broccoli, parsley and pepitas. Place salad on the middle of the plates and drizzle with the tahini dressing, to serve.
Notes
- Make sure the char-grill is hot before you start cooking the beef, otherwise the meat will stick to the grill. The meat should sizzle as it makes contact with the char-grill.
- Only turn the beef once during cooking to get the best crust and to prevent it from toughening. The more you fuss around with it, the tougher it will get.
