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.
