Beef up your salads this summer
What makes a good salad? We’re not talking limp green leaves tucked under a bland white dressing. We’re talking big flavours. Fresh vegetables, fresh herbs zesty dressings and of course, good quality proteins like New Zealand beef and lamb for easy dinner ideas.
Skirt steak with grilled kumara and courgette
This is perfect for when that courgetti glut hits, and you’ve got a bundle that needs to be used up! Get everything on the grill and then a simple vinaigrette is all that’s needed. We love it with skirt steak cooked quickly, or rump steak – but keep it tender and tasty.
Thai beef larb
Turn mince into that Thai classic laden with fresh herbs in under 30 minutes. Serve with crunchy lettuce leaves for scooping and if you need it, fresh steamed rice.
Summer beef and crunchy noodle salad
Quick and healthy, this high protein dinner is jam-packed full of vegetables and topped with quality New Zealand beef for the ultimate summer dinner.
Flat Iron steak with Broccoli and Kiwifruit
This is such a simple salad and great for those looking to increase their iron absorption – the vitamin C from the kiwifruit is excellent at helping with that!
Beef and pasta salad
Grab handfuls of herbs and the pantry staples of olives and sundried tomatoes for this simple and tasty pasta salad. It travels well, making it perfect for shared meals or even office lunches.
Vietnamese beef salad
One of the most popular salads on the website and rightly so – it’s the perfect combo of tender beef, crunchy vegetables and a dressing that’s full of flavour.
Beef fillet, bocconcini and spring onion salad
An interesting combination, this salad delivers full South East Asian flavours that are perfect after a day at the beach. Swap the bocconcini out if you need it be dairy-free.
