Ingredients
SERVES 1
- 100 g (3.5 oz) beef sirloin steak
- Scant amount butter or coconut oil for frying
- 50 g (1.75 oz) prawns
- Salt, pepper and chilli flakes
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 4 medium mushrooms, sliced
- 100 g (3.5 oz) tomato
- 100 g (3.5 oz) asparagus
- 30 g (1 oz) each of spinach and rocket
Directions
- Heat a non-stick frying pan to a medium/high heat, season steak well with salt and pepper and sear on both sides, the general rule is 3-4 minutes a side. If your steak is very thin or thick you will have to judge how long it needs to cook, place on a plate to rest.
- Wash the pan and reheat, adding in some butter or coconut oil, season the prawns with salt, pepper and chilli flakes and pan-fry the prawns in the butter until they go pink, turning as needed. Add the garlic after you turn so it doesn’t burn. Remove prawns and set aside.
- In the same unwashed pan, add a little more butter or coconut oil and lightly fry the mushrooms, tomato and asparagus.
- Serve everything on a bed of spinach and rocket.
