Lean beef is a good source of haem iron, so Kathy Paterson ensures that it's on the weekly menu.

Pickled cucumber

3 Lebanese cucumber, or 1 long telegraph cucumber
1 tsp Flaky sea salt
2 cloves Garlic, crushed
1 Tbsp Miso paste
1 tsp Liquid honey
1 pinch Chilli flakes, or use 1 fresh chilli, deseeded and finely chopped

Beef

4 fillets Eye fillets of beef, 170g each, at room temperature
1 serving Oil, for pan-frying
1 Tbsp Toasted sesame seeds

Directions

  1. Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise and remove seeds, then cut into small dice. Place in a bowl, sprinkle over the salt and leave to sit for 15 minutes.
  2. Rinse and drain cucumber, return to a clean bowl and mix with the remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. The longer you leave before eating the more pickled it becomes.
  3. Heat a large heavy-based frying pan over a medium-high heat. Rub a dash of oil over the steaks and season with freshly ground black pepper. Place in the frying pan and cook for 3 minutes each side for medium-rare. Remove from the frying pan, season with salt and leave to rest for 5 minutes before plating.
  4. Serve steaks with cucumber pickle, sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds, a bowl of cooked brown rice and a simple green salad.
