Notes

  • You can use any steak you like for this salad, however the better quality, the better it will taste.
  • Make sure that you season the steak, as it really will make a difference to the finished flavour.
  • Add some extra creaminess to this salad by adding some chunks of avocado on top.
  • You can swap the goats cheese for a blue cheese for a different flavour, but the same creaminess.
  • Give the salad a vegetable boost by roasting some vegetables at the same time as the potatoes. Bell pepper, courgette and red onions work well.
