    1 Place half the oil in a mixing bowl. Add herb mix and beef, tossing to coat.

    2 Heat a barbecue chargrill or hotplate over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing.

    3 Meanwhile, place zucchini and onion on grill or hotplate and cook for 3 minutes each side or until charred and tender. Transfer to a plate. Add pita and cook for 1 minute each side or until toasted.

    4 Meanwhile, place vinegar and remaining oil in a small bowl, whisking to combine. Season with freshly ground black pepper.

    5 Arrange spinach, tomatoes, zucchini, onion and beef on a platter. Serve drizzled with dressing.

    HFG tip

    For a money-saving, vegetarian twist on this salad try grilling slices of tempeh or haloumi, instead of steak, and finish with a squeeze of lemon.
