Instructions

  1. Peel, wash and slice the carrots. Clean and wash the spring onions and cut diagonally into rings. Wash and roughly chop the thyme.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan. Sweat the spring onions and carrots in it. Deglaze with a good 500 ml of water and bring to the boil. Stir in the lentils with 1 teaspoon of broth. Cover and simmer for approx. 7 minutes.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and fry the steaks for about 1 minute on each side. Let the thyme fry briefly. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and remove. Deglaze the roast set with 125 ml water and balsamic vinegar and bring to the boil. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of the stock and let it simmer for about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the lentil vegetables and season with salt, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Divide the vegetables on 4 plates and place the steaks on top. Ciabatta tastes good with it.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
