Grilled Steak, Vegetable, and Quinoa Salad with Yoghurt-Tahini Dressing

This griddled steak and quinoa salad is a vibrant, high-protein dish that proves healthy eating never needs to be dull. By combining earthy French lentils with fluffy quinoa and charred seasonal vegetables, you create a satisfying base that is full of texture and fibre. The addition of fresh dill and oregano adds a bright, herbaceous note that perfectly complements the rich, savoury flavours of the beef and the optional salty halloumi cheese.

Ideal for a nutritious midweek dinner or an impressive weekend lunch, this recipe is topped with a creamy lemon and tahini dressing that ties all the elements together. Using a griddle pan creates those characteristic char marks on the fennel and spring onions, bringing out their natural sweetness. It is a well-balanced meal that provides a fantastic boost of energy while remaining light enough for a summer afternoon.

How to make Grilled Steak, Vegetable, and Quinoa Salad with Yoghurt-Tahini Dressing

Whisk oil, vinegar, honey, and salt in a large bowl. Add quinoa, lentils, dill, and oregano and stir to combine. Set aside.

Whisk yoghurt, lemon juice, tahini, oil, salt, and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Set aside.

Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat. Brush fennel, tomatoes, and spring onions with oil and season with 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until tender and charred in spots, 10–15 minutes; let cool. If using Halloumi cheese, brush with oil and grill, turning occasionally, until charred and warmed through, about 2 minutes per side.

Meanwhile, rub steak with cumin, remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Grill until medium-rare, 5–7 minutes per side for flank steak, about 2 minutes per side for skirt steak. Let rest, then thinly slice against the grain.

Transfer quinoa salad to a large platter. Top with grilled vegetables and steak. Season with additional salt and pepper and top with fennel fronds. Serve immediately with yoghurt dressing alongside.

The yoghurt dressing can be chilled for up to 3 days.
