Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb (450g) Flank Steak or Ribeye Room temperature
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Avocado Oil High smoke point
  • 1 tsp (5g) Coarse Kosher Salt
  • 1 tsp (5g) Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1 cup (150g) Corn Kernels Fresh or frozen
  • 1 Ripe Avocado Sliced into a fan
  • 4 cups (120g) Baby Spinach & Mixed Greens Packed
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Dairy-Free Mayo Whole30 compliant
  • 1/4 cup (15g) Fresh Cilantro Chopped
  • 1 Lime Juiced (plus extra wedges for garnish)

Equipment

  • 1 Cast Iron Skillet For the perfect steak sear.
  • 1 High-speed blender To emulsify the cilantro cream sauce.

Method
 

Prepare the Steak
  1. Pat steak dry and season generously with salt and cracked black pepper.
  2. Heat oil in cast iron skillet over high heat. Sear steak for 3-4 minutes per side until charred edges form and internal temp reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
  3. Remove steak from pan and let rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing into thick strips.
Char the Corn
  1. In the same hot skillet, add corn kernels. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until golden with dark charred spots. Remove from heat.
Blend the Sauce
  1. Combine mayo, cilantro, and lime juice in a blender. Process until a thick, pale green cream forms.
Assembly
  1. Divide spinach and mixed greens into two shallow bowls. Top with steak slices, avocado fan, and charred corn. Drizzle with cilantro cream in a zigzag pattern and garnish with extra cilantro and a lime wedge.

Notes

Ensure the steak is at room temperature before searing to get that perfect pink center.
Use a very hot pan for the corn to get the charred effect without overcooking it into mush.
