Ingredients

2 400 gram beef blade steaks

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 1/2 tablespoon mexican chilli spice mix

1/4 cup lime juice

2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped

1 small avocado, finely chopped

1 small red onion, finely chopped

2 tablespoon chopped coriander

1/2 small iceberg lettuce, cut into wedges

2/3 cup sour cream

corn chips and lime wedges, to serve

Method

1.Place beef on a baking-paper lined baking tray. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil, the spice mix and half the juice. Turn to coat. Cover with plastic food wrap. Stand 15 minutes, turning once, to marinate.

2.Meanwhile, place tomato, avocado, onion, coriander, remaining oil and remaining juice in a medium bowl. Season. Stir to combine. Set aside.

3.Preheat a char-grill pan over high heat. Cook beef 2 minutes; turn. Cook 2 minutes more for rare. Transfer to a heatproof plate. Cover loosely with foil; rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly.

4.Arrange lettuce on serving plates, add beef then avocado salsa and half the sour cream. Serve with corn chips, lime wedges and remaining sour cream.

Use lemon juice instead of lime juice. Cook this cut of meat quickly and serve rare. Use minute steak if you prefer well done. Make salsa close to serving time. A very hot pan prevents tough, grey, stewed steak. Turn only once to prevent tough, dry steak.
