Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Beef sirloin steak
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 200 g Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 Red onion
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 0.5 tsp Salt (for salsa)
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper (for salsa)
Instructions
Take the beef sirloin steak out of the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Season the steak on both sides with 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp garlic powder. Set aside.
To prepare the salsa, halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to a mixing bowl.
Peel and dice the avocado into small cubes, then add to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes.
Finely dice the red onion (use only half) and chop the fresh cilantro. Add both to the mixture.
Squeeze 1 tbsp of lime juice over the salsa mixture, and season with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Gently toss to combine. Set aside for flavors to meld.
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully add the seasoned steak to the pan.
Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time based on your preferred doneness.
Once cooked, remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to retain the juices.
Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
Serve the seared beef alongside the tomato avocado salsa for a fresh, vibrant dish.
