Why trust us?

Char grilled corn and peppers team up with a fresh coriander crema in this Mexican-inspired steak salad. The steak is rubbed with chipotle paste for a smoky, spicy flavour then grilled until medium-rare and sliced thick for a generous serving. Crisp romaine lettuce is the perfect bed for this meaty main.

Ingredients

2 Persons

400 g

thick-cut sirloin steak
1 tsp

chipotle paste
2 ears

sweetcorn, husks removed
2

bell peppers
1 head

romaine lettuce
1 small

red onion, thinly sliced

CORIANDER CREMA:

100 g

0% fat Greek yogurt
30 g

fresh coriander
12 g

Whey Protein Neutral
1 clove

garlic
1 pinch

salt
1

lime, juiced

Preparation

1

Allow the steak to come to room temperature. Rub the chipotle paste all over the steak and season with salt. Heat a griddle pan over a high heat and, once very hot, add the steak. Cook for 7-10 minutes total, flipping it over halfway through the cook time, until cooked to medium-rare. Remove from the griddle pan and place onto a cutting board. Leave to rest for 15 minutes then slice.
2

Meanwhile, grill the corn in the same grill pan over a high heat, turning occasionally, until slightly charred all over. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3

Add the peppers to the same grill pan and cook over a high heat, turning occasionally, until blackened all over. Remove from the heat and place the peppers into a bowl. Cover with a plate and set aside for 5 minutes to steam. Pierce each pepper to allow the steam to escape then, under cold running water, peel away the charred skin and remove the seeds & stem. Tear the pepper flesh into small strips.
4

Use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the corn cobs. Chop the lettuce and add to a bowl along with the corn, pepper strips and thinly sliced onion.
5

Blitz all the coriander crema ingredients together, either in a blender/food processor, or in a jug using a hand blender, until smooth. Drizzle over the vegetables and toss to combine.
6

Tip the salad onto a serving plate and top with the sliced steak then serve.
