Tips
Tips
- If you’ve got some pickled onions leftover from last week or if you’re obsessed with them like we are, then we recommend adding them to this dish.
- Marinating and cooking the steak in cubes means more flavour from the marinade and caramelization when cooking, as the surface area is greater than if it was in a large steak.
- If you’ve been cooking with us for a while you’ll know that this yoghurt, tahini sauce is one of our all-time favourites. We find that it works best using a runny tahini like this Cere’s Organics one. If you’re using tahini that isn’t as runny or you’re at the end of the jar you can just add a little water to thin it out.

Ingredients
Roasted vegetables
- ½ pumpkin (cut into bite-sized cubes)
- 1 red onion (cut into wedges)
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Steak
- 500-600g steak, eye-fillet or scotch (cut into bite-sized cubes)
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp turmeric
- ½ tsp chilli flakes
- 2 garlic cloves (crushed)
- 1 Tbsp tamari
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Yoghurt tahini sauce
- ½ cup Greek yoghurt
- ¼ cup tahini
- ½ lemon (juice)
Garnishes
- ½ cup mint leaves
- 2 Tbsp pine nuts (toasted)
- Pickled onions (optional)
Salad
- 120g baby cos (1 bag)
- ½ lemon (juice)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees fan bake.
- If you’re making the pickled onions, make them first. Then get started on marinating the steak.
- Add the coriander, cumin, turmeric, chilli, garlic, tamari and olive oil to a bowl. Add the cubed steak and toss well; leave to marinate for at least 20 minutes or while the vegetables are roasting.
- Add the pumpkin and onion across two baking trays, drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Pop in the oven to roast for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
- In the meantime, make the yoghurt tahini sauce. Simply add all the ingredients into a small bowl and mix well to combine.
- To make the salad, add the baby cos to a large bowl, squeeze over the lemon juice and drizzle over the olive oil; toss well.
- Cook the steak when the vegetables have about 10 minutes remaining and the other elements are prepared. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil. Cook the steak for 1-2 minutes on each side; allow to rest for 5-7 minutes.
- While the steak is resting, add the yoghurt, tahini sauce to the base of a large platter. Scatter over the roasted pumpkin, onion, steak, pine nuts, mint and pickled onions (if using).
- Serve alongside the salad and enjoy!
