Ingredients

Olive oil

1½ tbs

Pork medallion or loin steak, raw

400 g

Fennel

1 medium, shaved, fronds reserved

Green apple, unpeeled

2 medium, cut into matchsticks

Apple cider vinegar

1 tbs

Lemon juice

2 tbs

Mixed salad leaves

120 g, baby leaves

Celery

1 stick(s), thinly sliced

Pecans

cup(s), (40g), toasted

Fresh mint

½ cup(s)

Lemon(s)

1 medium, cut into wedges to serve

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper and cook for 3 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate. Cover pork with foil and set aside to rest for 2–3 minutes before thinly slicing.
  2. Meanwhile, combine shaved fennel and apple in a large bowl. Add vinegar, juice and remaining oil and toss to coat.
  3. Add salad leaves and celery to fennel mixture and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Top salad with sliced pork and sprinkle with pecans, mint and reserved fennel fronds. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

SERVING SUGGESTION: Wholegrain bread. TIPS: Try and buy pork medallions that are roughly the same size and thickness to ensure even cooking. Prepare the fennel and apple just before using as the cut edges will turn brown when exposed to air. Add it: 60g soft goat’s cheese (crumbled) in Step 3. Swap it: Pork for skinless lean chicken breast fillets (halved).
