Ingredients

  • 1 thick 400g sirloin steak
  • 150 g green beans trimmed
  • 30 g parmesan finely grated (plus extra shavings for serving)
  • 100 g Greek yogurt full fat
  • 3 anchovies
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 50 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 50 g walnuts
  • 100 g watercress
  • handful of tarragon leaves chopped

Instructions

  • Remove your steaks from the fridge around 1 hour before cooking. This helps you get a more even cook.
  • Bring a pan of well salted water to the boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3 mins. Drain and cool down in ice water.
  • Into a blender or nutri bullet add the parmesan, the Greek yoghurt, anchovies, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and blend until super smooth, chill until needed.
  • Toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan for 3-5 mins or until they start smelling nutty and toasted. Roughly chop and set aside to cool down.
  • Heat a griddle pan over a high heat until almost smoking. Season with flaky sea salt on both sides.
  • Griddle the steak on each side for 3 mins then set aside and 1 minute on the fatty edge to render it. Remove from the pan and cover for 10 mins.
  • Toss half the dressing with the cooked green beans, watercress, herbs and half the nuts. Slice the steaks.
  • Arrange the dressed salad on a large serving platter. Top with the steak, remaining nuts, some shaved parmesan, some black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
