Beef Sirloin Steak with Almond Mojo Sauce

Serves 4 portions

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 200g sirloin steaks, trimmed
• Almond mojo sauce:
• 1 bunch coriander including roots and stems, roughly chopped
• Juice of 2 limes
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• ¼ cup roasted almonds, coarsely chopped
• 1 mango, cut into 1cm cubes

Salad

• 1 Lebanese cucumber, peeled into ribbons
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 punnet of cherry tomatoes, halved

Cooking Instructions 

1. Brush steaks with oil and preheat a chargrill pan or BBQ.
2. For almond mojo sauce, place coriander roots, stems and leaves in a blender or food processor and process until roughly chopped. Add half the lime juice, 2 tablespoons oil and ½ teaspoon salt and blend until smooth. Pour into a bowl and fold through almonds, mango and chopped coriander leaves.
3. Assemble salad and dress with remaining lime juice and oil.
4. Season steaks with salt and pepper and cook for 3 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking. Rest for 5 minutes. Spoon over sauce and serve with salad.

Tips

1. Select a mango that is ripe but still firm. It should smell sweet but feel firm when gently pressed.
2. Spice up your sauce with a little jalapeno or fresh chilli.
3. To easily remove the mango flesh, slice off both cheeks from the seed, then use a large kitchen spoon to separate the mango flesh from the skin, then dice the flesh.
4. Swap sirloin steak for rump, porterhouse or scotch fillet steak.
