When cooking the steaks make sure your pan is smoking hot. It is best to only cook 2 at a time, otherwise the heat of the pan will drop & the steaks will stew rather than fry. Letting them rest while you cook the vegetables will allow the juices to settle.
Method
- Mix the coriander, smoked paprika, lime zest and pepper together in a small bowl.
- Brush the steaks with a little of the oil then rub the spice mixture all over the steaks and set aside while you prepare the vegetables.
- When you are ready to cook the steaks season them with a little salt. Place a large frying pan over a high heat and add a tablespoon of oil.
- When the pan is really hot add two of the steaks. Cook over the high heat turning once. The steaks will take 2-3 minutes on each side for medium rare.
- The time will depend on the thickness of the steaks and how well done you like your meat. Leave to rest while you cook the remaining steaks.
- When all the steaks are cooked add a little more oil to the pan. Then add in the onion, carrots, chilli and garlic and cook over a high heat, stirring for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the spinach and lime juice and cook until the spinach has wilted. Taste and season.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the steaks along with the vegetables and some steamed potatoes.
