  • 1 teaspoon mustard (e.g. Dijon, wholegrain)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional, adults)
  • Juice of ½ lemon (optional, adults)
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 100g feta cheese, crumbled
  • ½ bag baby silverbeet, thinly sliced

  3. In a medium bowl mix together vinegar and oil. Dice cucumber and tomato 1–2cm and peel carrot (discard outer peel), then peel lengthways into ribbons. Add all to bowl with vinegar and oil, toss to combine and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  4. Pat steaks dry with paper towels and season with salt. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat and cook steaks for about 2 minutes each side for medium rare (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking.
  5. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes, covered with foil, before slicing thickly against the grain.
