Cooking Steps
- Thinly slice fennel.
- In a small heatproof bowl, combine the white wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt.
- Scrunch sliced fennel in your hands then add it to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover fennel. microwave fennel, in 30 second bursts, until warmed through. Set aside.
- While fennel is pickling, roughly shred baby cos lettuce.
- Thinly slice cucumber into rounds. Slice lemon into wedges. Finely chop garlic.
- In a second small bowl, combine dill & parsley mayonnaise and Greek-style yoghurt.
- Cut or tear bake-at-home ciabatta into bite-sized chunks.
- In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook ciabatta until golden and slightly crispy, 5-6 minutes.
- Add garlic and another drizzle of olive oil, tossing until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Season to taste.
- Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook beef strips, tossing, in batches until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Drain haloumi and pat dry. Cut the haloumi into 1cm-thick slices.
- Return pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Cook haloumi until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side.
- Remove pan from heat and add the honey and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.
- Drain pickled fennel.
- To bowl with croutons, add pickled fennel, cucumber, cos lettuce, a good squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to combine and season to taste.
- Divide pickled fennel crouton salad between bowls. Top with haloumi, beef and drizzle over creamy dill and parsley dressing.
