SERVES 2 // COOKING TIME 30 min

INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for frying
500 g rump steak
½ spanspek, peeled, deseeded and sliced into half moons

½ red onion, thinly sliced into rings
Handful fresh coriander
Handful fresh mint
1 tbsp vinegar
½ tsp honey
2 tbsp olive oil

METHOD
1. Combine paprika and olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Rub over the steak. Set the steak aside to come to room temperature.
