This vibrant minute steak with roasted fennel and rocket and caper dressing is a sophisticated yet simple meal that celebrates bold Mediterranean flavours. The sweetness of the roasted fennel provides a delicate contrast to the savoury, iron-rich beef, while the punchy dressing—packed with anchovies, capers, and olives—adds a salty depth that cuts through the richness of the meat.
As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and high in lean protein and healthy fats. It is an excellent choice for a quick midweek dinner that feels indulgent without being heavy. Serve it as a light lunch or a nutritious evening meal, perhaps with a side of steamed green beans to complete the plate.

Ingredients for Minute Steak with Roasted Fennel and Rocket and Caper Dressing
1 firm bulb of fennel
Huile d'olive
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
A squeeze of lemon juice
4 salted anchovies
1 tablespoon capers
1 sun-dried tomato (in olive oil)
1 small clove of garlic, peeled and crushed
4 green or Kalamata olives, pitted
1 bag (approx. 70g ) of rocket
1 ripe beefsteak tomato
Juice and zest of 1/2 a lemon
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Huile d'olive
230g minute steak
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
How to make Minute Steak with Roasted Fennel and Rocket and Caper Dressing
Preheat the oven to 177°C. Cut the fennel into thin wedges and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season, and squeeze the lemon juice over it. Roast in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until softened and lightly charred, turning once during cooking.
Meanwhile, make the dressing by putting all the ingredients (except the olive oil) into a blender and pulsing them a few times. Slowly add the olive oil while you are pulsing, but don't overdo it, as you want to keep some texture. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
For the beef, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan until almost smoking. Season the fillet with salt and pepper until almost smoking. Season with fillet with salt and pepper and carefully add to the hot pan. Cook for 2 minutes on each side for rare; 3-4 medium; 4-5 for well done, then transfer to a plate or board, loosely cover with foil and allow to rest for a few minutes.
Arrange the fennel wedges on a serving platter. Slice the beef thinly and place in and around the fennel. Drizzle the rocket dressing over the top.
