  1. CRISPY SWEET POTATO CHUNKS

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the sweet potato chunks on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.

  2. SET YOUR SIGHTS ON SALAD

    While the sweet potato is roasting, rinse and roughly shred the salad leaves. Roughly dice ½ of the tomato. Rinse and pick the basil. Roughly chop ½ the basil and set aside. Halve the avocado and set aside the half containing the pip for another meal. Peel off the avocado skin, keeping the flesh intact. Slice the avocado flesh and season.

  3. GET DRESSED FOR DINNER

    In a small bowl, add the chopped onion (to taste), the chopped basil, the vinaigrette, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener of choice (to taste), and seasoning. Set aside.

  4. TOAST THE SEEDS, BROWN THE BEEF

    When the sweet potato has 8-10 minutes remaining, place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until beginning to pop and turn brown. Remove from the pan. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, add the beef strips and the rub. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Season to taste.

  5. A FLAVOUR COMBINATION

    In a salad bowl, combine the shredded salad leaves, the diced tomato, the roasted sweet potato chunks, ½ the toasted pumpkin seeds, and ½ the drained feta. Pour over ½ the dressing and toss to combine.

  6. SENSATIONAL SALAD

    Plate up the dressed salad. Top with the beef strips and the avocado slices. Scatter over the remaining pumpkin seeds and feta. Drizzle over the remaining dressing and garnish with the remaining basil leaves. Dig in, Chef!
