Pepper steak with bread salad
(at time of publication)
Instructions
Step 1 Make bread salad: place bread, cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, basil, oil and vinegar into a large bowl. Toss to combine.
Step 2 Sprinkle pepper on both sides of beef. Spray a chargrill pan with oil and place over medium-high heat. Cook beef, turning, for 7–8 minutes for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Stand for 5 minutes to rest.
Step 3 Serve beef with bread, salad and lettuce leaves.
Variations
You can add some roasted mushrooms or a cup of mashed cauliflower without overdoing the kilojoules. At just 35kJ per tablespoon, some tomato salsa is a great idea, too.
HFG Tip
Eating a good quality piece of lean steak provides you with more than iron – it also helps lower the GI of your overall meal. Clever red wine vinegar not only tastes great, but has been shown to increase feelings of fullness. Don't like red wine vinegar? Any vinegar will do the trick.
