TOAST
Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan.
DRESSING
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated garlic until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Remove from the pan. In a bowl, combine the garlic, the balsamic vinegar, the chilli flakes (to taste), a sweetener (to taste), and 10ml of olive oil. Mix to emulsify, and season. Add the tomato slices, the rinsed oregano, seasoning, and set aside in the fridge.
LENTILS
Return the pan (with a lid) to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, toast the drained lentils until golden and crispy, 12-15 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and season.
STEAK
Place a grill pan (or return the pan) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the steak dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the steak fat-side down until crispy, 3-5 minutes. Flip the steak and sear until browned, 2-4 minutes per side (for medium-rare). In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter, the rosemary, and the paprika mix. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
CHARRING MOMENT
Return the pan, wiped down if necessary, to high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the baby marrow pieces until lightly charred, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and season.
DINNER IS READY
Make a bed of the tomato rounds, top with the baby marrow pieces, and scatter over the crispy lentils. Lay over the steak slices. Drizzle over the dressing (to taste) and sprinkle over the toasted seeds. Tuck in, Chef!
