Chef tips

For a juicy, perfectly seared steak, pat it dry with paper towels before hitting the hot pan. Don't forget to let it rest for five minutes before slicing to lock in all those delicious juices. For a vegetarian or lighter option, swap the steak for seared tofu cubes or chicken strips. Kids will love helping out by washing and hand-tearing the fresh herbs for the salad.
