Steak is one of our favourite quick and easy dinners, and we’ve used flat steaks in this Balsamic Steak and Feta Salad for a meal in minutes! 

The key to the delicious flavours in this recipe is the marinade: don’t skip this step as it allows all the flavours to infuse into the beef steaks so you get a zingy, zesty balsamic taste in every bite. 

The sweet and tangy dressing compliments the salty Feta cheese perfectly for a summery salad that’s full of flavour. Try it for lunch or dinner, served with crusty wholemeal rolls or a slice of sourdough for extra crunch!

A griddle pan, like this one, leaves grill marks on steak and leaves it succulent and nicely coloured.

Marinating should be done in a non-metallic bowl, like this one, to avoid impairing the flavour.
