Steak with sharp, sweet roasted lemons and crisp, spiced pitta bread makes a hearty meal that will satisfy even salad-phobics

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Put the lemon slices on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Drizzle over a little oil and put in the oven on the highest shelf to roast for 15-20 mins, until the lemon has released its natural sugars and the peel has softened and begun to caramelise. Keep an eye on them – you may need to turn the tray so that they cook evenly.

Step 2

Meanwhile, mix together the remaining oil and za’atar in a bowl, then toss in the pitta and use your hands to coat in the spiced oil. Spread out on a baking tray and roast for 15-20 mins until crisp and golden.

Step 3

Pan fry the steak for 2 mins on each side for rare (longer if you want it medium). Set aside to rest for a few minutes, then slice.

Step 4

Mix all the other salad ingredients together in a large bowl. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and season with black pepper and a little sea salt (the olives and feta will add salt so you shouldn’t need much).

Step 5

Add the lemons, spiced pitta and steak. Mix everything together with your hands, then divide between plates or serve sharing-style on a large platter.
