Grilled Flank Steak with Sauteed Beet Greens and Creamy Horseradish Beets

This sophisticated high-protein dish makes the most of every part of the beetroot, from the earthy, nutrient-dense leaves to the sweet, roasted roots. By pairing tender grilled flank steak with a sharp, creamy horseradish dressing, you create a balanced meal that is both hearty and refreshing. The combination of peppery greens and the acidity of the lemon juice cuts through the richness of the beef perfectly.

Ideal for a midweek supper or a weekend lunch, this recipe is a brilliant way to incorporate more iron and antioxidants into your diet. The steak is marinated in rosemary and mustard to ensure maximum flavour, while the vibrant colours on the plate make it a visual treat for guests. Serve it as a stand-alone low-carb meal or with a side of crusty bread to soak up the juices.
