- Salt and black pepper
For the mushrooms:
- 12 white button mushrooms (120 g), sliced

- 2 large handfuls of mixed salad leaves
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- 1/4 red onion, finely sliced
- 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) lemon juice
Instructions
- Season the steaks with salt and let rest for 10 minutes.
