- 1 (about 200g) sirloin steak, fat trimmed
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- a large pinch smoked paprika
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 small red pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 small yellow pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 10 baby plum tomatoes, halved
- ½ a small bunch coriander, roughly chopped
- 4 small corn tortillas, warmed
CORIANDER YOGURT SAUCE
- 100ml low-fat natural yogurt
- ½ clove garlic, crushed
- 1 green chilli, chopped
- ½ a small bunch coriander, roughly chopped
Method
- STEP 1
Put the steak in a plastic food bag then bash a few times with a rolling pin to flatten it a little. Open the bag and sprinkle over the cumin, paprika and lime juice, and season well. Smoosh everything together and leave to marinate while you make the other fillings.
- STEP 2
Whizz together the yogurt, garlic, chilli and coriander in a small blender until just smooth.
- STEP 3
Put the peppers, onion and olive oil in a bowl, and toss with seasoning. Heat a non-stick frying pan until hot then tip in the pepper mix and fry until softened and golden at the edges.
- STEP 4
Heat a griddle to really hot then sear the steak for 2 minutes on each side. Put on a plate to rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
- STEP 5
Add the tomatoes to the pepper pan and give it another blast of heat until the tomatoes soften. Toss in the steak and coriander. Serve in the tortillas with a spoonful of the sauce.
