Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the lentils and the water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, partly covered, until the lentils are barely tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, combine the vinegar and white pepper. Add the olive oil in a steady stream, whisking constantly until the mixture is emulsified.

  3. Step 3

    In a large serving bowl, toss together the steak, lentils, watercress, garlic, scallions, capers and sweet pickles with the dressing.

I made much too much for a party -- can it be frozen???

This is actually a pretty good recipe, but it does need salt.
