Steak pittas

Another quick tea, after a day at nursery/work.

You'll need:

a couple of pitta breads per person, toasted
a tub of hummous (one of these days I'll get round to making it myself again)
salad leaves (preferably involving baby spinach and/or rocket)
a nice piece of steak, at least 1-2 cm thick (ours was reduced to clear in Sainsburys, but no worse for that)

Heat a griddle or grill pan up on your hob, and brush with a little olive oil. Once it's sizzling, place the steak on it, and sear for a couple of minutes. Turn over, then leave for another couple more - it depends on how well-done you like your steak (this will do it medium rare, with a lovely pink bit in the centre). Whip the steak out of the pan, then leave to rest for 5 minutes or so.

Slice as thin as you possibly can, and then jam into some pitta breads with the salad leaves (if you've got any juices left in the pan then drizzle them on top). Top with a small dollop of hummous.
