Smokey Steak & Crispy Onion Salad

Ingredients

• 600 g rump or sirloin steak
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1–1½ tsp BlixSam Smoke Craft
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp butter

• 120 g rocket
• 250 g cherry tomatoes, halved
• ½ small red onion, very thinly sliced
• ½ cup crispy fried onions
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 100 g feta, crumbled
• 3 spring onions, sliced

• ½ cup BlixSam Smokey Salad Dressing
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp honey

Method

1. Remove the steak from the fridge about 20 minutes before cooking. Rub lightly with olive oil and season with BlixSam Smoke Craft and black pepper.
2. Heat a heavy frying pan or braai grid until very hot. Cook the steak to your preferred doneness — about 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.
3. Add the butter during the final minute and baste the steak. Remove from the heat and rest for 5–10 minutes.
4. Combine the BlixSam Smokey Salad Dressing, lemon juice and honey.
5. Arrange the rocket, cherry tomatoes, red onion, avocado, feta and spring onions on a large platter.
6. Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain and arrange over the salad.
7. Give the warm steak a very light final dusting of Smoke Craft. You only want enough to boost the smoky flavour.
8. Drizzle generously with the Smokey Dressing and scatter the crispy onions over the top just before serving so they stay crunchy.
