Ingredients
- 300 g sirloin steak
- Rocket and baby spinach, 120 g
- Parmesan, 40 g
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- Flaked salt and black pepper
The method
- 1
Temper the steak
Bring the steak to room temperature and season heavily on both sides. A ripping-hot pan and a dry surface give you the crust.
- 2
Sear hard
Sear in a dry, smoking pan for two and a half minutes a side for rare. Do not move it between turns.
- 3
Rest without exception
Rest the steak on a warm plate for five full minutes. Use the time to whisk mustard, vinegar and olive oil into a dressing.
- 4
Assemble
Toss the leaves through half the dressing. Slice the steak thinly against the grain and lay it over the salad.
- 5
Finish
Shave parmesan over the top, spoon on the remaining dressing and grind over black pepper.
