Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:20 minutes
Total Time:35 minutes

Ingredients

For the Salad

  • ½ cup peanuts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Zest and juice of ½ lime
  • ½ red pepper sliced
  • 1 medium carrot ribbon-sliced with a peeler
  • 2 ½ cups 250g Brussels sprouts, chopped
  • ½ lb round steak
  • 2 cups arugula
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds

For the Dressing

  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce

Instructions

  • In a skillet over medium heat, toast the peanuts for about 5–6 minutes, stirring often until they turn golden.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and the lime zest. Stir to coat, then transfer the peanuts to a plate.
  • In the same pan, heat another tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the steak for 2–3 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Set the steak aside to rest.
  • Using the same pan, sauté the Brussels sprouts for about 3 minutes.
  • Add the carrot ribbons and red pepper, and cook for another minute or two just to soften them slightly.
  • To make the dressing, grate the garlic and ginger into a small bowl. Whisk in the soy sauce and sweet chili sauce.
  • Thinly slice the rested steak and combine it in a bowl with the cooked veggies and arugula.
  • Arrange the salad on a serving plate, top with steak slices, and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and toasted peanuts.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the salad and enjoy!
