  1. BEAUTY & THE BEEF

    In a bowl, add ¼ of the balsamic vinegar, the grated garlic and a sweetener of choice. Mix until fully combined. Add the beef schnitzel and toss until fully coated. Set aside to marinade for at least 5-10 minutes at room temperature.

  2. TOAST & MARINATE

    Place the walnuts in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and roughly chop. In a bowl, combine the rub, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Add the baby marrow strips and toss until fully coated. Set aside to marinate.

  3. BRING THE HEAT

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, remove the beef from the marinade, reserving the marinade in the bowl, and fry the beef for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and cooked through to your liking. In the final minute, baste the beef with the reserved marinade. Remove from the pan on completion, season, and cut into 1cm thick strips.

  4. WILL YOU MARROW ME?

    Return the pan to a high heat. When hot, fry the baby marrow strips for 2-3 minutes per side until slightly charred.

  5. LET’S ASSEMBLE!

    In a salad bowl, combine the remaining vinegar, a drizzle of oil, sweetener of choice, and seasoning. Thinly slice the pear and add to the salad bowl. Add the rinsed green leaves, charred baby marrow strips, ½ the toasted walnuts, and the beef strips. Toss until fully combined.

  6. DINNER IS SERVED

    Pile up the beautifully dressed beef and fresh pear salad. Drizzle over any remaining marinade from the pan. Crumble over the drained feta and sprinkle with the remaining walnuts. Dig in, Chef!
