Steak salad with balsamic tomatoes, potatoes and greens

Ingredients

  • 2 thick Northern Ireland Farm Quality Assured sirloin steaks

For the marinade:

  • 4 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Garlic clove crushed
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 330 g Cherry tomatoes

For the warm salad:

  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 500 g Baby potatoes
  • 220 g French green beans trimmed
  • 300 g Asparagus rimmed
  • Handful of rocket leaves
  • Handful of freshly grated parmesan

Method

  • Prepare the marinade ingredients in a large bowl and marinade the steaks for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile boil the potatoes until tender, drain and transfer to a large frying pan with olive oil and fry until crisp and golden.
  • When the potatoes are ready, remove to a large dish and place into a hot oven to keep warm.
  • Return the frying pan to the heat, remove the steaks from the marinade and seal in the hot pan for 2 minutes on each side, remove the steaks from the pan, place onto an oven tray and set into a hot oven for 5 minutes.
  • Tip the cherry tomatoes into the empty frying pan along with the remaining marinade (add 4 tablespoons of water) and cook on a high heat for 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften and a sticky sauce forms.
  • Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and cook the asparagus and green beans for 2 minutes until bright green but still crunchy.
  • Remove the potatoes and steaks from the oven, allow the steaks to rest while you arrange the potatoes onto a large warm serving plate. Top with green beans, asparagus and cherry tomatoes.
  • Slice the steak into thin slices and place on top of the salad.
  • Drizzle the sticky balsamic sauce over the meat and sprinkle with parmesan.
  • Serve with rocket leaves.
