It's mid-winter. Buy wine instead of a box and use the excess money to buy feta and orange kumara. You deserve it. Get the veggies in and get the flu out. Life’s short, eat good food and your body will thank you.
Ingredients
600g of rump or blade steak (this is the cheap kind but if you’re like me and steak is wishful thinking then you can always sub it out for tofu)
Leafy greens (e.g. spinach)
Mung bean sprouts
1 orange kumara
1 beetroot bulb
5 potatoes
Half block of feta cheese
Salt
Pepper
Oil
Instructions
Turn the oven onto 180 degrees fan bake. Place the steak on a chopping board and cover in salt and pepper on both sides. Use this time to think about all the terrible things you had to do in order to afford steak.
Let it sit while you chop up the kumara, potatoes and beetroot into bite-sized chunks. Place them in a baking dish, drizzle with oil, and add salt and pepper. Cook for 20 minutes or until cooked through. It might pay to give them a stir halfway, so they don’t stick to the bottom.
Heat oil in a pan on high heat. Add the steak when the oil is hot and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side depending on how thick the steak is. Check that the middle is cooked before leaving to rest for a minute or two. Medium rare or no deal. Cut the steak across the grain into slices.
To plate. A bed of spinach. Add the mungies. Then add roasted veggies and top with feta.
Tuck in and enjoy the church road drop.
P.S. We were meant to add a grain like couscous or quinoa to this to bulk it up but couldn't be bothered. Adding a few cups of a grain would be very beneficial to your food churner. Sweet chilli on top would also be yummy. Enjoy.
