Strip Steak with Lemony Yoghurt and Radishes

This pan-seared sirloin steak with lemony yoghurt and radishes offers a fresh, contemporary take on a classic beef dinner. By basting the steaks in cardamom and thyme-infused butter, you achieve a deeply aromatic crust that pairs beautifully with the cooling, citrus-spiked Greek yoghurt. The addition of crisp radishes and fresh parsley provides a bright, peppery crunch that cuts through the richness of the meat, making every bite perfectly balanced and full of texture.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish focuses on high-quality protein and healthy fats while remaining naturally low in carbohydrates. It is an excellent choice for a nutritious midweek meal or a sophisticated weekend supper. The combination of warm, rested beef and chilled yoghurt creates a restaurant-style experience at home, proving that heart-healthy eating can be both indulgent and intensely savoury.

Ingredients for Strip Steak with Lemony Yoghurt and Radishes

  • 2 (1-inch-thick) boneless New York strip steaks (about 275g each)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling

  • Kosher salt

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 4 sprigs thyme

  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 6 cardamom pods, lightly crushed

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest

  • 1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 350ml plain whole-milk Greek yoghurt

  • 230g radishes (such as red radishes and/or daikon), some cut into wedges and some sliced

  • 1 cup (packed) parsley leaves with tender stems

  • Crushed red pepper flakes and flaky sea salt (for serving)

Let steak sit at room temperature 20 minutes before cooking (this will help it cook more evenly).

Heat a dry large skillet over medium-high. Rub steaks with 2 tablespoons oil; season generously with kosher salt. Cook, turning several times, until lightly charred, 6–8 minutes. Pour off excess oil from skillet. Add butter, thyme, garlic, and cardamom, and cook steaks, tilting skillet and basting with foaming butter, until medium-rare, about 3 minutes. Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Reserve pan drippings.

Meanwhile, mix lemon zest and 1 teaspoon lemon juice into yoghurt in a small bowl; season generously with kosher salt.

Just before serving, toss radishes, parsley, and remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a medium bowl. Season with kosher salt, drizzle with oil, and toss again to coat.

Swipe plates with seasoned yoghurt and top with steak and radishes. Drizzle with pan drippings and sprinkle with red pepper flakes and sea salt.
