Ingredients:
800g lean sirloin steak (or your preferred cut)
coconut cooking spray
Steak marinade:
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp tamari sauce (or soy sauce)
1/2 lime, squeezed
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
cracked pepper
2 spring onions, finely sliced
Step 1: In a small cup whisk together all the marinade ingredients.
Step 2: Place steaks into a large plastic zip-lock bag and cover with the marinade. Remove air and seal. Squeeze bag to coat meat with marinade. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours before cooking.
Step 3: Pre-heat grilling plan or barbecue on high heat. Spray with oil, add steak and cook to desired taste – about 3-4 mins per side for medium-rare. When cooked to your liking, remove from the heat and rest for 3-4 mins before slicing.
Tip:
• The steak is even better if left to marinade overnight.
• Resting the meat allows the proteins to slow their action and re-absorb some of the moisture in the meat.
