Healthy Chargrilled Beef With Avocado & Corn Salsa Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 red capsicum, seeded and cut into 2-3cm pieces
- 1 large corn cob, husk intact
- 1/2 medium avocado, peeled, seeded and diced
- 2 tbs fresh coriander, chopped
- 2 tsp fresh lime juice
- olive or canola oil spray
- pepper
- 2 x 110 g lean beef, fat trimmed
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan forced).
- Place capsicum on a non-stick baking tray and roast for 10-15 minutes or until tender.
- Microwave the corn cob in its husk on HIGH (100%) for 3 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly. Remove the husk and silk. Cut kernels from the cob into a medium sized bowl. Discard cob.
- For the salsa, add capsicum, avocado, coriander and lime juice to the corn.
- Preheat a grill pan or heavy based frying pan over medium heat. Spray the steaks with oil and season with pepper. Cook steaks to your liking. Rest for 2 minutes. Slice steak into strips.
- Divide salsa between plates and top with the steak slices. Serve with lime wedges.
Hint
Bottled lime juice can be used when fresh limes are not available.

Variation:
A drained can of no-salt-added corn kernels, or frozen corn, can be used in place of the fresh corn cob.
Healthy tip!
To keep lean meats juicy and add flavour, try brushing with a marinade.
