Spiced steak salad

This is such an easy meal to put together, and meets Mr X's requirement of a low carb dinner. I cheated using a curry paste, but you could easily make your own. A homemade curry paste will make it even better.


Serves 2.


Ingredients:
400g steak of your choice
1 1/2 tbsp curry paste (I used massaman)
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice, + extra
1/2 long red chilli, finely diced (optional)
1/2 a red onion, chopped


Salad
3 cups mixed salad leaves
1 punnet cherry tomatoes
1 cup cucumber
1 carrot, finely chopped into small matchsticks
Handful of snow peas, ends removed
1/2 avocado, peeled and diced
Cheese (optional - Mr X likes cheese on everything...) or corriander, to taste.



Method:
Mix the curry paste, chilli and lime in a bowl, and add steak to it. Place in fridge for 30 minutes, or overnight to marinate.


Cut up the salad ingredients (minus the cheese or corriander) and divide onto plates.


Heat a pan over medium heat, lightly spray with oil and add onion, stirring, ensuring they don't burn, until cooked. Sprinkle over salads. Turn heat up to medium high, lightly spray pan with oil and add the steak. Cook as desired (I cooked ours medium rare), then slice and place on top of salad. Sprinkle with cheese or corriander. Enjoy!
