Steps

  1. Preheat BBQ hotplate to medium-high (if using).

  4. Pat beef dry and season with salt and pepper. Oil BBQ hotplate, if using. Cook beef for 3-4 minutes each side for medium (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Add herby garlic marinade for last minute of cook time and toss to coat. Rest, covered, before slicing thinly. Alternatively, use same method with reserved fry-pan.
  5. Roughly chop lettuce and cut cucumber in half lengthways before thinly slicing. Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. Thinly slice spring onion. Add drained kumara to bowl with bacon, along with sour cream and spring onion. Toss together and season to taste with salt and pepper.
