COOK THE BULGUR
Boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the bulgur wheat and stock in 200ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 15-20 minutes until cooked and tender. Fluff up with the fork on completion.
TOASTY SUNFLOWER SEEDS
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.
CHARRED ARTICHOKES
Return the pan to a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When very hot, fry the artichokes for 20-30 seconds per side until charred and caramelised. Remove from the pan on completion and season with a generous pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Set aside for step 5.
SIZZLING SIRLOIN
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with another drizzle of oil. Pat the steak dry with some paper towel. When the pan is hot, sear the steak fat-side down for 3-5 minutes until crispy. Then, fry each side for 2-4 minutes or until cooked to your preference. (The time this takes will depend on the thickness of the steak.) During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the steak with a knob of butter, the rinsed thyme sprigs, and the bashed garlic. On completion, remove from the pan and place in a piece of tinfoil. Pour in the pan juices, including the thyme and garlic, and close up tightly. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing, reserving the juices. Lightly season the slices.
SALAD STUFF!
When the bulgur is cooked, stir through the charred artichokes and halved olives. In a separate bowl, toss together the halved baby tomatoes, the rinsed green leaves, and three-quarters of the chopped parsley. Add a drizzle of olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon wedge, and some lemon zest to taste. Toss to coat and season to taste. You can either mix these two salads together or serve them separately – the choice is yours!
