Ingredients

  • 2 1 inch thick-cut sirloin steaks (flank or ribeye will also work)
  • 2 cups arugula/rocket (50g)
  • 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes (200g)
  • ½ cup fresh parsley (small handful)
  • 6-7 basil leaves
  • 1 tablespoon capers in brine drained
  • 2 anchovies
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 ball buffalo mozzarella (125g/4.4oz)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Cut the tomatoes into quarters and add to a large mixing bowl. Finely chop the parsley, basil, capers and anchovies and add them to the bowl with the red wine vinegar. Mix to combine and set aside.
  • Heat a grill or griddle pan until smoking hot. Season each side of the steak with a good pinch of salt and pepper and rub lightly in olive oil.
  • Using tongs, place one steak at a time fat side down to sear the fat until golden brown (about 1 minute). If your steak doesn’t have fat on one side, skip this step.
  • Next, fry the steaks on each side for 3.5 minutes (rare), 4 minutes (medium rare) or to your preference. Cooking times will vary depending on thickness.
  • Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a clean cutting board to rest for a couple of minutes.
  • Divide the arugula between two plates, cut the steak into strips and add to the plates. Add torn pieces of mozzarella then top with the tomato salad. Drizzle over a little olive oil and serve.

Notes

  • Let the steak rest before cutting - it's really important to let the steak rest for a couple of minutes before cutting to allow the juices and flavour to absorb back into the meat.
  • Serving suggestions - if you'd like to add some extra sides; Italian Roast Potatoes, Italian Green Beans or White Bean Mash With Rosemary And Lemon are great options.
  • Storage and leftovers - the steak and tomato salad will keep well covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. The steak can be reheated if prefered.
