A hearty recipe of Texas Aussie flank steak salad
Ingredients
Steak and marinade:
- 1 3/4 lbs. Aussie grassfed beef flank
- 1 each lime, zested and juiced
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp smoky paprika
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 freshly ground pepper
Salad:
- 2 each corn on the cob
- 2 each jalapeno peppers, seeds and stem removed, sliced thickly
- 7 oz. halved grape tomatoes (or other small tomato)
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 9 oz. small potatoes, sliced into thin rounds
- 2 oz. feta cheese
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Lime wedges to serve
Chef Notes:
- You can use 1 green capsicum rather than jalapenos if sensitive to spicy food.
- Cook 1 cup brown rice and serve with salad for a hearty lunch option with any leftovers.
- Avocado oil imparts a really beautiful flavor instead of olive oil for the salad.
