STEAK SALAD WITH BLUE CHEESE DRESSING

RECIPE: @BALANCEYOURPLATE
Directions

Take the steak out from the fridge and season with oil, salt and pepper on both sides. Leave to bring to room temperature. 

Toss the baby potatoes in salt and oil and then roast or air fry until golden; about twenty minutes at 200°C.

Mix all the ingredients for the dressing in a bowl and set aside.

Cook the steak in a hot pan; about two minutes on each side for medium rare. This will depend on the thickness of your steak.

Leave the steak to rest for at least five minutes. 

Place a few large handfuls of rocket and baby spinach in a serving bowl. Add the tomatoes, red onion and roasted potatoes. 

Slice the steak into strips and arrange over the top of the salad.

Spoon over the blue cheese dressing.

Toss together just before serving.
