Steak with a Tomato Salsa
The finished product - A low-calorie high protein recipe, adding some magic to your meat with a zingy zesty salsa
Ingredients:
Serves 1 – double portions for each person | 20 minute cook | Approx 792 calories
Steak of your choice (I am using a 300g rump)
1 Sweet potato Chopped (for roasting or Air frying)
For the salsa: adjust ratios to your flavour profile – there are no rules here:
1 tomato or a punnet of cherry tomatoes finely chopped
Chopped Coriander (as much or less as you like)
1 Red Chilli sliced – optional
2 Cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 Avocado
½ Red Onion finely chopped
Salt & pepper
1 Lime
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the potato
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Cut your Sweet potato into chunks, roast in the oven for approximately 30-35 mins / or Airfry with salt, pepper, olive oil.
Step 2: Make your salsa
Chop all of your salsa ingredients (except your Avocado) and pop in a bowl.
Step 3: Cook your meat
Take your steak out 15 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
Season your steak with lots of salt and pepper.
Add oil to your frying pan, medium to high heat.
Fry your steak on a hot pan, hear the sizzzle!
My approach to medium rare is to cook the steak for 2-3 minutes each side, turning twice sometimes a third or fourth depending on thickness.
Once your steak is cooked, rest for 10 minutes with foil lightly on top.
Step 4: Serve
Mix your salsa ingredients,
Add ½ - 1 lime juice with lots of salt & pepper and mix and taste (adjust to your likening).
Chop your avocado into chunks and lightly mix in the salsa.
Take out your sweet potato.
Slice your steak, drizzle the salsa mix on the top.
