Steak with Watercress Tabbouleh & Mojo Verde
Serves 2 | Prep time: 20 mins/Cook time: 10 mins
Ingredients:
2 Steaks of your choice
60g Watercress, chopped
1 Onion, chopped
150g bulgur wheat
2tbsp Tomato puree
200g Tomato, diced
1tsp ground cumin
10g Fresh Mint, chopped
Salt & Pepper
Olive Oil
For the Mojo Verde:
30g Coriander
30g Watercress
2 cloves garlic
Juice of 2 limes
1tsp ground cumin
1 Chilli pepper
2 tsp white wine vinegar
2tbsp Olive oil
Salt & pepper
Method:
For the sauce, add all ingredients to a food processor and blend. You can liquidise for a smoother texture if preferred.
For the tabbouleh, add the bulgur wheat to a heat-proof dish and cover with double the amount of boiling water. Meanwhile, fry the onion in a pan with a little olive oil. As the onions begin to soften, add a pinch of salt and the tomato puree.
The bulgur wheat should have absorbed all the water by now and be cooked – add the onions and set aside.
Season the steaks with salt & pepper on both sides. In a hot frying pan, seal the steaks on all sides before cooking for 1 min 30 sec – 2 mins on each side. Allow to rest.
To the cooled bulgur wheat and onions, add the tomatoes, watercress, cumin and mint. Stir to combine.
Slice the steak before serving – you can plate up individually, but this makes a great sharing platter with the addition of some flatbreads!
