Flank Steak with Melon Relish

This vibrant flank steak with melon relish offers a refreshing twist on a classic beef dish. By pairing lean, pan-seared steak with a bright salsa of juicy cantaloupe, red onion and fresh herbs, you create a sophisticated balance of savoury and sweet notes. The use of fresh mint and white balsamic vinegar provides a zesty finish that lifts the richness of the meat without the need for heavy sauces.

It is naturally low in saturated fat and packed with vitamins from the fresh fruit and herbs, making it an excellent choice for a healthy mid-week meal or a light weekend lunch.
