Instructions

  1. 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.
