To make the marinade, combine all the marinade ingredients in a dish, then season well. Add the steaks and turn to coat, then cover and marinate for 1 hour at room temperature.
2
Preheat the barbecue. To make the sauce, put the yogurt, tahini and garlic into a food processor with some salt. Blitz until combined, then add the 30g of the rocket. Pulse until combined, then scrape into a bowl and set aside.
3
To make the salad, combine the onion, pomegranate seeds and any juices, pomegranate molasses and mint. Season to taste and set aside.
4
When the barbecue is ready, lift the steak from the marinade and barbecue for 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a board, season with salt and let rest for 5 minutes while you warm the pitta breads on the barbecue.
5
To serve, thinly slice the steaks and split the pittas in half. Stuff with the rocket followed by the steak and salad, then drizzle over the sauce and serve.
