  1. CRISPY BEET

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the beetroot pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. ADD SOME CRUNCH

    Place the almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. ALL TOGETHER

    In a salad bowl, combine the honey-mustard dressing with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Toss through the shredded leaves, the baby marrow ribbons, the crumbled feta, and ½ the toasted nuts. Set aside.

  4. RED PESTO SAUCE

    Loosen the red pesto with a drizzle of olive oil and a splash of warm water until drizzling consistency.

  5. BROWNED BEEF

    Return the pan to high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sear the beef until browned, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan. Season and set aside.

  6. SENSATIONAL SALAD

    Plate up the dressed baby marrow salad and top with the cooked beef, the beetroot, and the crumbled feta. Drizzle over the loosened red pesto. Garnish with the remaining almonds.
