CRISPY FRIES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rinse the potato fries in cold water and pat dry with paper towel. Spread out on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and crisping up, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Toss through the smoked paprika.
SUNNY SEEDS
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
FRY THE SCHNITZEL
When the fries have 10-15 minutes remaining, return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the schnitzel dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the schnitzel until browned, 30-60 seconds per side. In the final 30 seconds, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan, season, and cut into strips.
DIJON DRESSING
In a small bowl, combine the dijon mustard, the lemon juice (to taste), a drizzle of olive oil, a splash of water, and 10ml of sweetener. Whisk to emulsify and set aside.
LOADED SALAD
To a salad bowl, add the quartered tomatoes, the beef strips, the rinsed green leaves, the cucumber half-moons, and the toasted seeds. Season and toss to combine.
DINNER IS SERVED
Plate up the fries, side with the beef salad and drizzle over the dijon salad dressing. Crumble the blue cheese (to taste) over the salad. Nice one, Chef!
