Ingredients
- 300 g Sirloin steak
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 pc Garlic clove
- 80 g Arugula
- 0.5 pc Avocado
- 50 g Feta
- 20 g Sunflower seeds
- 0.5 pc Lemon (juice)
Method
- Pat the sirloin steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Peel the garlic clove and finely chop half of it.
- Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium to high heat. Sear the steak for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until browned on the outside and pink inside. Then let it rest for 5 minutes and cut into thin strips.
- While the meat rests, toast the sunflower seeds in a dry pan, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown, then remove and let cool.
- For the dressing, whisk the juice of half the lemon with the remaining olive oil, the chopped garlic, salt and pepper.
- Wash the arugula and spin dry. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, peel and slice.
- Divide the arugula between two plates, arrange the avocado and steak strips on top. Coarsely crumble the feta and scatter it over.
- Drizzle with the dressing, sprinkle the toasted sunflower seeds on top and serve immediately.
