MINUTE STEAK WITH ROASTED FENNEL AND ARUGULA AND CAPER DRESSING
A lot of people assume that being healthy means that red meat is off the menu. But I'm delighted to say that it's very much on mine. That said, I am a stickler for ensuring that the meat we eat is of the highest quality and that it is always paired with an abundance of vegetables. Plants are always my main focus, but a little bit of good-quality meat here and there has worked best for me. I have tried being vegan and vegetarian but my health suffered during those phases. We are, after all, omnivores and so, unless you have a specific dislike of, issue with or reaction to meat, I think it's a food group that has an important role in our diet. If you like carpaccio, this recipe also works incredibly well with the beef served raw and very finely sliced.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut the fennel into thin wedges and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season, and squeeze the lemon juice over it. Roast in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until softened and lightly charred, turning once during cooking.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing by putting all the ingredients (except the olive oil) into a blender and pulsing them a few times. Slowly add the olive oil while you are pulsing, but don't overdo it, as you want to keep some texture. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
- For the beef, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan until almost smoking. Season the fillet with salt and pepper until almost smoking. Season with fillet with salt and pepper and carefully add to the hot pan. Cook for 2 minutes on each side for rare; 3-4 medium; 4-5 for well done, then transfer to a plate or board, loosely cover with foil and allow to rest for a few minutes.
- Arrange the fennel wedges on a serving platter. Slice the beef thinly and place in and around the fennel. Drizzle the arugula dressing over the top.

FRESH FENNEL AND ARUGULA WITH MEYER LEMON DRESSING
I love crunchy fennel and peppery arugula dressed with a slightly sweet dressing made from Meyer lemons-a fresh-tasting pick-me-up. Meyer lemons are only available in the wintertime, so if you can't find them, use regular lemon juice and replace a third of it with fresh orange juice.

Steps:
- To prepare the dressing: Place the olive oil and lemon juice in a small glass jar with a lid and season with salt and pepper. Secure the lid and shake until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- To prepare the salad: Remove the green, feathery stalks from the fennel bulb, thinly slice the white part of the fennel bulb on a Japanese mandolin or with a knife. The thinner you cut the fennel the better. Place the sliced fennel in a medium mixing bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the prepared dressing. Let sit for 30 minutes (this will soften the fennel slices a bit). Add the orange segments to the bowl and toss gently.
- Place the arugula in a medium mixing bowl and toss with remaining dressing.
- Divide the arugula among 4 plates and top with some of the fennel mixture. Season with a twist of freshly ground black pepper.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest fennel possible. Look for bulbs that are firm and heavy, with no signs of wilting or bruising.
- Trim the fennel properly. Remove the tough outer leaves and the root end. Cut the bulb in half lengthwise and remove the core.
- Slice the fennel thinly. This will help it cook evenly.
- Sauté the fennel over medium heat. This will help it caramelize and develop a slightly sweet flavor.
- Add the capers and arugula towards the end of cooking. This will help preserve their flavor and texture.
- Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Sautéed fennel with capers and arugula is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. It's a great way to use up fresh fennel and it's also a healthy and flavorful dish.
