How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200C/400F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel the eggplant, and slice it and the zucchini into half moons. Slice the onion into thick slices and transfer it to the baking sheet along with the corn.
Step 2
Drizzle 2 tbsp over the veggies and season with ½ each of salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes until tender and golden.
Step 3
To make the dressing, add the parsley, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper. Pulse until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and keep it in the fridge until assembly.
Step 4
Place a skillet over medium-high heat and season the steak with ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Once the skillet is sizzling hot, add the steak. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until browned.
Step 5
Use a thermometer to cook your steak to your desired level of doneness. Our steak was cooked to medium rare, so the thermometer read 135°F/ 57°C. Take the steak off the heat and rest for 5 minutes to preserve the juices. After resting, slice the steak against the grain.
Step 6
To assemble, spread the greens on a serving platter and top with the roasted vegetables. Add the sliced meat, crumbled goat cheese, and sunflower seeds. Pour the dressing and serve immediately.
