Methods/steps
-
Marinade the steak in sesame oil and soy and leave, covered, at room temperature while preparing salad.
-
For dressing, combine all ingredients except salt and stir well. Heat dressing gently in a saucepan, or microwave for 45 seconds, then taste and season.
-
Heat a barbecue or griddle pan to high.
-
Mix salad ingredients and place in a serving bowl, on a platter or on individual plates. Drizzle over half the dressing.
-
Sear sirloin for 30 seconds each side, then a further 4 minutes each side (depending on thickness – the steak should be medium rare) then rest on a board for 5 minutes.
-
Slice into 5mm pieces and arrange on top of salad, then finish with extra dressing.
Additional Tips
Use "lite" coconut milk to turn this into a great low-calorie summer meal!
