Method
Put the potatoes into a pan of water and boil for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and then crush a little with a fork, add a tablespoon of oil, some salt and pepper and a little of the cheese.
Softly boil the eggs in their shells. You will need to boil them for 5 minutes. Plunge immediately into cold water and peel and quarter when cool enough to handle.
Put a frying pan onto the hob. Brush the steaks with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook on each side for about 4 minutes then lift out of the pan and put to one side to rest for at least 20 minutes. Slice into strips cutting across the grain of the meat.
Add the asparagus spears to the pan and cook until tender. Lift out of the pan and keep warm under a piece of foil.
Peel and grate the beetroot. Put the dressing ingredients into a jar and shake well.
Pile the salad leaves and rocket onto a large serving plate or bowl.
Add the beetroot and toss with the leaves and a little bit of the dressing. Add the warm potatoes, the steak and all the other parts and then spoon the dressing on top.
Add shavings of parmesan or hard cheese and serve immediately.
