Simple Supper: Steak salad recipe
Steak salad is a light supper which also keeps the meat lovers in the house happy


Serves 2
Ingredients 2 pieces of good quality steak (I used 200g sirloin) 2 large handfuls of winter salad leaves or rocket Dressing Salt and freshly ground black pepper Butter Parsley, finely chopped
Method Remove the steak from the fridge ahead of cooking to bring up to room temperature. Heat a griddle pan to a high heat and massage a little olive oil and seasoning into the steaks. When the pan is smoking hot add a little butter and then cook the steaks on each side for 3 minutes. Cut the steak into thin strips and lay across the salad leaves, drizzle the juices from the pan over the steak and scatter the parsley on top. Dress generously with a rich salad dressing and serve immediately.
Particularly good with mashed potato.
Exquisite houses, the beauty of Nature, and how to get the most from your life, straight to your inbox.
Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
