Steak and avocado salad

This is a salad with a difference, crunchy potatoes, avo and a mustard dressing. It’s really good and a substantial meal that takes just a few minutes to prepare. The aged steaks available at Pick n Pay or Woolies are such great quality and so tender these days that a good piece of rump does the trick but of course a piece of fillet is for a special occasion. Good for 4 people.

What you need

600-700g rump or fillet
Salt and pepper
300g pack of baby spinach leaves
2 avocado’s

2 large potatoes
2 tablespoons oil
1 heaped tablespoon butter

Dressing
2 teaspoons granular mustard
2 teaspoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon brown sugar
90ml olive oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
90 ml cream

The process
