Heat butter in a pan over medium heat until melted.

Season the zander fillet with salt and black pepper.

Place the zander fillet in the pan and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove the zander from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Add sliced cucumber to the onions and stir.

Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.

Cook the cucumber mixture until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

While the cucumber stews, season the zebu beef fillet with salt and pepper.

In another pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

Sear the zebu beef fillet for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

Remove the beef from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.

In a bowl, combine salad greens, olive oil, vinegar, mustard, and herbs to make the salad dressing.

Toss the salad with the dressing just before serving.

Plate the zander fillet alongside the stewed cucumber and the salad with zebu beef.
