If you can't already tell, we are absolutely loving pita pockets and think we might have hit the jackpot with this flavour combo! First, take tender beef strips and haloumi then sear them up in the frying pan. Then, spread the pita with our creamy pesto dressing, throw in some salad leaves, cooked beef and fetta cubes. it's super simple and super delicious!

Preparation
1
Bake the fries

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.

• In a medium bowl, place haloumi and cover with water to soak

• Cut potato into fries.
• Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss 
to coat.
• Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.


TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the fries between two trays.
Little cooks: Help toss the fries! 

2
Bake the pita bread

• When the fries have 5 minutes remaining, bake pita bread directly on a wire oven 
rack until heated through, 2-3 minutes.

3
Cook the beef & haloumi

• While the pita bread is in the oven, drain haloumi and pat dry. Cut haloumi into 1cm-thick slices.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.

• Cook haloumi until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

• Return the frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook beef strips, tossing, in batches until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.


TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over high heat helps it stay tender. 

4
Finish & serve

• In a medium bowl, combine mixed salad leaves and a drizzle of the vinegar and olive oil. •

 Halve pita bread and spread with some creamy pesto dressing, then fill with salad leaves and beef strips, haloumi and crumble over fetta cubes.

• Drizzle over remaining creamy pesto and serve with hand-cut fries. Enjoy!

ELEVATE ME: If you’ve added extra ingredients to this recipe, add semi-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives and parsley to your pita bread to serve.
