Cooking Steps
• Roughly chop baby cos lettuce. • Thinly slice celery. • Thinly slice apple into sticks. • Discard any liquid from beef strips packaging. • In a bowl, combine beef strips, Aussie spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil.
• Heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook beef strips in batches, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, add half the honey and toss to coat.
TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over high heat helps it stay tender.
• In a large bowl, combine Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, the remaining honey and a drizzle of olive oil. • Add cos lettuce, celery and apple to the dressing and toss to combine. Season to taste.
• Divide apple cos salad between bowls. • Top with herbed beef and sprinkle over walnuts to serve. Enjoy!
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The honey-mustard mayo dressing was a standout, and the apple and walnuts added lovely sweetness and crunch. Some found the overall dish a touch sweet, and suggested adding parmesan to balance the honey in both the beef and dressing.
- Ease of prep: This is a quick and easy meal that comes together fast, making it a great option for busy weeknights or warm-weather lunches.
- Suggestions: Cooking beef strips in small batches over high heat helps avoid toughness — several customers found the precut strips chewy when not cooked carefully. Some felt the dish needed more substance and added garlic bread or rice on the side.
- Portions: A number of customers found the meal on the lighter side and felt it worked better as a lunch than a filling dinner. Adding a side can help round it out if you're after something more substantial.
- Customisation: A few customers swapped the beef for chicken or salmon with great results, and one found that dill mayonnaise worked well in the dressing as an accidental substitution.
