Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Pull out a medium frying pan, a large bowl & a sieve
Prep time
- Remove the steaks from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Season both sides with salt and pepper
- Strip the rosemary from the stalks and finely chop. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Drain and rinse the beans
Sizzle the steaks
- Heat the medium frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook (as a guide: cook for 2-3 mins on each side for medium, or 3-4 mins for medium-well). Quickly sear the edges of the steaks
- Remove the pan from the heat. Add the rosemary (or to taste) and garlic to the pan and leave for 30 secs to infuse. Turn the steaks to coat, then remove from the pan and leave to rest
- Mix the beans and half the pesto into the rosemary and garlic in the pan and heat on medium heat for 3-4 mins, until the beans are warmed through
Build the salad
- Meanwhile, add the vinegar, the remaining pesto and 2 tsp olive oil to the large bowl. Mix to combine
- Dice the cucumber into 2cm chunks. Halve the tomatoes
- Add both to the bowl with the dressing, along with the beans and rocket. Gently toss, then season to taste
Plate up
- Share the pesto bean salad between plates, topped with the steaks
