Steak salad

Make sure the steak has been out of the fridge for about an hour before cooking. Decide how you like your steak: if you like it rare, cook it roughly one minute per side; for medium, about 2 minutes per side; and if you prefer well done, around 3 minutes per side.
Heat some olive oil in a pan over high heat until very hot. Add the steak and sear it briefly on each side. For rare: slightly less than a minute per side, essentially just searing. Now sprinkle some salt & pepper over it, add a generous knob of butter to the pan and turn the heat down. Let the steak sit in the butter for a moment, then take it out of the pan and let it rest for 10 minutes in foil.
You now have a wonderfully tender steak. While the meat is resting, make the salad: toss salt & pepper and olive oil through the arugula and spread it on a platter. Cut the avocado into cubes and scatter them over the greens. Slice the steak into nice slices about 1 cm thick and arrange them on the arugula. Drizzle a little olive oil over everything and finish with coarsely grated Parmesan.

Tip!

You can customize this salad however you like: for example, you could add fried garlic or some sun-dried tomatoes. Serve it with a nice piece of baguette, seasoned potatoes, or turn it into a delicious healthy dish with sweet potato. Either way, enjoy — it tastes amazing!

A steak salad is a wonderfully light dish that's still very satisfying. The secret is a good steak that you briefly sear over high heat in a combination of olive oil and butter. Letting the meat rest afterwards keeps all the juices inside and makes it slice beautifully into thin pieces. Paired with peppery arugula, creamy avocado and coarsely grated Parmesan, this is a salad that never fails to impress.
