KEEN ON Quinoa

LENTILS & LEKKER VEG
Place a pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the lentils and pepper until golden and crispy, 6-8 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, season and toss through the Quinoa along with the green leaves and the tomato.

Return the pan to 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 and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
