Method

In a bowl, combine the yogurt, chopped mint, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside as your dressing.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Season the sliced beef with salt and pepper, then add it to the hot pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until browned and just cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, make a quick blanch for the asparagus. Bring a small pot of water to a boil, add the asparagus pieces, and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large serving bowl, add the arugula, blanched asparagus, and carrots. Toss gently to combine.
Arrange the cooked beef on top of the salad mixture. Drizzle the mint yogurt dressing generously over the beef and salad.
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh dill and a side of tahini for drizzling or dipping. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a twist on flavors, consider adding fresh basil or cilantro to your mint yogurt dressing.
If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, swap out the beef for grilled tofu or chickpeas.
This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For the best texture, keep the dressing separate until serving. Reheat leftover beef gently to avoid overcooking. Enjoy this deliciously healthy dish!
