A full and yet light summer meal: warm steak salad with thyme potatoes.

This dish is prepared relatively quickly and fits well in the warm season.

ingredients

  • 2 steaks (beef fillet or rumpsteak)
  • Cherry tomatoes (cocktail tomatoes)
  • Baby spinach or lamb's lettuce (because I had it in stock)
  • spring potatoes
  • Thyme (preferably fresh)
  • Butter or clarified butter
  • coarse pepper, coarse herb salt

For the marinade

  • coarse pepper
  • finely chopped chili pepper or chilli flakes
  • little neutral oil

preparation

  1. The steaks are cut into pieces and rubbed well with the marinade. Calmly knead in and leave for a good hour.
  2. In the meantime boil the small spring potatoes with peel, drain, dry and sauté in a pan in hot butter from all sides.
  3. Add plenty of fresh thyme sprigs, keep panning, fry thyme twigs, season with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat a frying pan without adding any fat and fry the steaks (always from the fridge before frying and bring to room temperature) on all sides.
  5. When they have accepted color, add split cocktail tomatoes. By the water of the tomatoes, the roasting process is interrupted immediately, the tomatoes swing only about 2 - 3 minutes,
  6. Then add the washed but dry baby spinach, dosed, take from the plate. The spinach (optional lamb's lettuce) collapses immediately, but should still be crisp.
  7. Season with coarse salt and pepper.

Serve potatoes with the warm steak salad on the plate, add a little herb curd cheese and a fruity chutney and let it taste.
