Salads are the quickest and easiest meals to whip up when you are short on time, or if you are just craving something light and fresh. This one is made that much better by the little things; the garlicky spiced croutons, the golden goddess dressing and Dijon mustard.

Mixed Salad Leaves
300 g
Beef Rump
1
Snacking Tomatoes
1 drizzle
olive oil
¼ cup
white wine vinegar
20 g
plant-based butter
1 tsp
brown sugar

• Finely chop garlic. • Halve snacking tomatoes. • Thinly slice cucumber into rounds. • In a medium bowl, combine the white wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Add cucumber to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover cucumber. Set aside. TIP: Slicing the cucumber very thinly helps it pickle faster!

• Cut bake-at-home ciabatta into slices. • Toast or grill ciabatta to your liking. • In a small microwave-safe bowl, add garlic and the plant-based butter and microwave in 10 second bursts, until melted and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper. • Brush garlic butter over ciabatta, then roughly chop.

• Season beef rump with salt and pepper.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• When oil is hot, cook the beef for 3-4 minutes each side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate to rest.

• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine Dijon mustard, the brown sugar, a splash of pickling liquid and a drizzle of olive oil.

• Drain cucumber. • To the bowl with dressing, add cucumber, tomatoes and mixed salad leaves. Toss to combine and season to taste.

• Slice beef. • Divide salad between bowls. • Top with beef rump steak and garlic croutons. • Drizzle over golden goddess dressing to serve. Enjoy!
