All too often we forget one of the most basic rules of the kitchen – keep it simple.
When you keep it simple and just use good quality ingredients, the flavours really have a chance to shine through.
This recipe is a great example of the philosophy.
A good quality piece of steak, cooked to perfection and adorned with some seasonal vegetables and fresh herbs is always going to be tasty.
Try this one tonight – it also happens to be a big ‘man favourite’ in our house.
Ingredients: for the steak
- 2 large sirloin steaks, trimmed of excess fat
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Ingredients: for the salsa
- 1 bunch of coriander
- 1 bunch of mint
- 1 cooked corn on the cob, with corn trimmed off (or use ½ a can of tinned corn)
- 1 clove of garlic
- 4 spring onions
- 1 red chilli, de-seeded
- 2 tomatoes, roughly chopped
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
- Take the steak out of the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature while you make the salsa.
- Finely chop the garlic, herbs (leaves and stems), spring onions, chilli and tomatoes and place in a large bowl.
- Add the corn and then squeeze over the lime juice, olive oil and season to taste.
- Get a frying pan very hot so it’s ready for your steak.
- Rub each side of the steak with olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
