Spicy beef strip fajita salad bowl

On a shopping trip we picked up some lovely lean steaks and fajitas were calling to me.

I love fajitas but I find I eat them quickly so to slow down the delivery I made a salad bowl out of it, so when I got to the end of my flour tortillas, I still had a lovely salad to finish!

Method

• Mix the cajun seasoning with the dried chillies before coating the steak.  Set aside to infuse the steak with the lovely flavours.
• Arrange the small flour tortillas onto the side of your bowl and top with the mixed salad leaves, cucumber, spring onion and tomatoes.
• Put a medium frying pan onto the heat along with the oil.
• When the oil is warm add the pepper slices to soften and after a couple of minutes add the steak to the pan.
• Cook the steak to your liking and remove it from the pan and allow it to rest.
• Slice the steak into thin strips and place it on top of the salad with the peppers and any of the resting juices.
• Top the steak with the reduced fat sour cream and jalapeño slices and serve the lime wedge on the side.

Recipe Notes

• Feel free to change the spices and increase the dried chillies.
• If you can’t find small flour tortillas, 1 regular size tortilla will be a good substitute.
• I’ve used sirloin as it’s a lovely lean cut, but feel free to use other cuts if you’d prefer.
