Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced.
• Thinly slice cucumber into half-moons.
• Thinly slice apple (see ingredients).
• Cut pita bread in half. Toast or grill to your liking, then cut or tear into bite-sized chunks.
• Discard any liquid from beef strips packaging. In a medium bowl, combine beef strips, Middle Eastern seasoning, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat.
• When oil is hot, cook beef strips, tossing, in batches until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over high heat helps it stay tender.
• In a second medium bowl, combine a drizzle of white wine vinegar, the honey and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add mixed salad leaves, cucumber, apple and pita croutons. Toss to combine.
• Divide pita crouton salad between bowls.
• Top with Middle Eastern beef.
• Drizzle over creamy pesto dressing and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
