Ingredients

1 clove garlic
4 cups baby spinach
1 lemon
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 lb flank steak
2 whole wheat pita breads
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional)

Method

1
Wash and dry the baby spinach leaves and lemon.
2
Cut the lemon in half; juice one half into a small bowl and cut the other half into wedges for serving.
3
Finely grate 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese.
4
Peel and mince the garlic clove.
5
In the bowl with the lemon juice, add half of the grated Parmesan, minced garlic, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste (if using), salt, and black pepper; whisk together until smooth.
6
Place the spinach in a large bowl and pour the dressing over it, tossing to combine. If the spinach is stiff, gently massage it with your hands.
7
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
8
Cut the pita breads into 1-inch squares to make pita chips.
9
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and heat it up.
10
Add the pita squares to the skillet; sprinkle with a pinch of salt and toss to coat in the oil, then arrange in a single layer. Toast the pita, tossing occasionally, until the pita chips are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the pita chips to a plate and set aside.
11
Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel and return it to medium-high heat.
12
Pat dry the flank steak with paper towels and season it generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
13
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom.
14
Carefully place the steak in the skillet; cook the steak for about 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
15
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes.
16
Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
17
To serve, arrange a bed of the dressed spinach on a plate, top with the toasted pita chips, remaining Parmesan cheese, and steak slices. Garnish with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
