The kind of Middle Eastern plate you make on repeat. za'atar, a proper smoke, and a finish of fresh herbs.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the za'atar elements, and pat the beef dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Turn up the heat and add the beef. Cook low with a little smoke until burnished and infused, resting before slicing.
Stir in the tahini and the rest of the za'atar flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the leek along with a splash of stock or water, then cover and cook gently until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
