Ingredients

For the flatbreads: either us shop-bought or:
250g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
250g natural yoghurt
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 large British sirloin or rump steaks
olive or sunflower oil to rub
handful baby leaves
For the baba ganoush
3 large aubergines
2 tbsp tahini
juice of 1 lemon




If making your own flatbreads:

  1. In a bowl or large freezer bag, stir together the flour, yoghurt, baking powder and a good pinch of salt. When the mixture starts coming together, flour your hands and knead the dough on a lightly floured surface (a cling-film covered tray) Divide the dough into four equal pieces, then roll out into circles 2 - 3mm thick. Cook the flatbreads one by one in a griddle pan for 2 3mins, turning once, until golden on both sides. Keep warm. If using shop-bought flatbreads warm for 30 seconds in the microwave before eating.

  2. For the baba ganoush, push 3 clean, sturdy sticks (or metal skewers) into the aubergines lengthways. Grill them, turning regularly, until blistered. It will take 20 - 30 mins.

  3. When cool enough to handle, peel the skin off with your fingers and either roughly chop or pull apart into long chunks, into a bowl. Stir in the tahini and lemon juice, then season well. Chop the pieces up a little more.

  4. Rub the steaks with oil, season and cook in the griddle pan, turning 1 -2 times, for 3 -5mins for medium rare. Rest for 5 mins, then slice.

  5. Serve the flatbreads with the sliced steak, baba ganoush and a handful of baby leaves.
