Beef with lentils, feta and mint

Ingredients

Ingredients (serves 4):

250g punnet cherry tomatoes

1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil

1/2 cup (80g) kalamata olives, chopped

2 x 200g beef sirloin steaks

1 tbs chopped rosemary

400g can lentils, rinsed, drained

1 tbs lemon juice

150g feta, crumbled

1 tsp dried mint

2 tbs mint leaves

Instructions

Method:

Preheat the oven to 200C. Toss tomatoes in 2 tsp oil, season and place on a baking tray. Roast for 15 minutes until soft, adding olives for final 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, rub beef with rosemary and 2 tsp oil. Season, then cook in a frypan over medium-high heat for 4 minutes or until browned. Turn and cook for a further 3 minutes for medium-rare, or until done to your liking.

Rest the beef, covered loosely in foil, while you warm lentils in a small pan of simmering water for 5 minutes.

Drain lentils and toss with lemon juice and remaining 2 tbs oil. Season.

To serve, scatter lentils on plates, top with slices of beef and scatter with feta, tomatoes, olives and dried and fresh mint.
