WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Heat a frying pan, add the seeds, with some chilli, if you like, and cook for about 1 min, until they start to toast and pop. Tip them into a bowl or on to kitchen paper.
- Heat the pan again (or a griddle) over a high heat. Rub 1 tsp oil over the steak, season well and sear for 2-4 mins on each side, or to your liking (but we think this tastes better if the steak is medium-rare). Take off and leave on a chopping board, loosely covered, to rest for 5-10 mins.
- Cut the beetroot into quarters and mix with the rest of the oil in a salad bowl. Halve, stone, peel and slice the avocado and add to the beetroot, along with the parsley leaves.
- Thinly slice the steak and serve separately with the salad or tuck pieces of steak into the salad. Drizzle with vinaigrette and serve with French bread.
