Ingredients

long-stemmed broccoli 200g, cut into bite-sized pieces
sirloin steak 1, fat trimmed
vegetable oil 2 tsp
fajita seasoning 1 tbsp
roasted red peppers from a jar 2, drained and cut into strips
coriander a large handful, chopped
avocado 1
lime 1, wedged
corn or wheat tortillas 4, warmed
hot sauce to serve, (optional)

Method

Step 1

Blanch the broccoli for 2 minutes in a large pan of lightly salted boiling water, then drain well.
Step 2

Drizzle the steak with the vegetable oil, season really well and sprinkle over the fajita seasoning, patting to coat. Heat a non-stick pan over a high heat and cook the steak for 2 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate to rest for 5 minutes under foil.
Step 3

Add the blanched broccoli and the peppers to the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is starting to char. Slice the steak and add to the pan with any resting juices, and the coriander.
Step 4

Skin and de-stone the avocado, tip into a bowl with the juice of 1⁄2 the lime wedges and a pinch of salt, and roughly mash with a fork.
Step 5

Serve the steak in the pan with the tortillas, avocado and hot sauce alongside, and remaining lime wedges to squeeze over, so people can roll their own fajitas.
