Method

  1. Preheat the oven to Gas mark 7, 220°C, 425°F.
  2. Place the parsnips, potatoes and onions in a non-stick roasting tin, season and coat in 30ml/2tbsp of the oil. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes. Drain excess liquid if required and transfer to a large bowl. Cool slightly.
  3. Meanwhile make the dressing; place all the ingredients in a screw-topped jar and shake well.
  4. Heat the remaining oil in a non-stick griddle or frying pan. Season the steaks and cook according to your preference. If using minute or flash fry steaks cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. Leave to rest on a warm plate for 1-2 minutes then slice diagonally.
  5. Whilst the vegetables are still warm add the spinach leaves, beef and any meat juices from the plate. Pour over the dressing and toss gently.
  6. Serve immediately.
