Tom Kerridge STEAK, RED ONION AND TOMATO SALAD No one could ever accuse Tom’s healthy salad of being rabbit food “I love beef and tomatoes together. The sweet acidity of the tomatoes combined with the salty, meaty crust on the steak works brilliantly in this salad. It’s ideal if you want to get something really appetising on the table quickly. Bavette, sometimes called skirt steak, has a fantastic flavour and is great value for money but it can be tough if you overcook it, so make sure you keep it nice and pink. Of course, you can swap the bavette for sirloin or rib eye if you prefer.” Ingredients (Serves: 2) 4 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced 1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced ½ tsp cracked black pepper Vegetable oil, for cooking 2 bavette steaks (250g each) 20g butter Juice of ½ lemon 1 ball of mozzarella (about 125g), drained and diced
