Ingredients

  • 2 large handfuls mixed salad leaves
  • 4-5 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 x 400g sirloin steak
  • 1⁄2 pomegranate

For the dressing

  • 1tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2tsp pomegranate molasses
  • 1⁄2 garlic clove, finely chopped

Method

Combine the salad leaves and tomatoes on a serving plate.

Place a frying pan over a high heat and, when hot, fry the steak on each side for 1-2 minutes (or longer if you prefer it well done). Remove from the pan, place on a board and rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Holding the halved pomegranate over the salad, hit the rounded side with a wooden spoon to release the seeds and sprinkle over the leaves. Add the steak slices to the salad.

To make the dressing, add all the ingredients to a small bowl and whisk well before drizzling over the salad to serve.
