Steak with smashed minted peas is a delicious and nutritious meal combining tender beef fillets, fresh asparagus, and zucchini with a refreshing minty pea mash topped with crumbled feta cheese. This recipe is perfect for a special dinner or an enjoyable weekend meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the peas and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender.
- Drain the peas and transfer them to a bowl.
- Add the fresh spearmint to the peas and use a fork or potato masher to roughly smash the peas. Set aside.
- Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Trim the woody ends off the asparagus.
- Slice the zucchinis into thin rounds.
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the asparagus and zucchinis and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the asparagus and zucchini slices on the preheated grill or grill pan.
- Grill the vegetables for about 4 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- Pat the beef fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the beef fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.
- Divide the grilled asparagus and zucchini among four plates.
- Add a portion of smashed minted peas to each plate.
- Place a beef fillet on each plate.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the smashed peas.
- Serve the steak with smashed minted peas immediately while everything is still warm. Enjoy this fresh and flavorful meal with your favorite side dish or a light salad.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh peas, but frozen peas can be a convenient and still tasty substitute.
- Ensure your beef fillets are at room temperature before cooking to achieve an even sear.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the beef fillets. Cook them in batches if necessary to maintain a nice crust.
- Blanch the asparagus before sautéing to enhance its color and texture.
- If you prefer a smoother pea mash, use a food processor, but smashing them with a fork or potato masher can offer a more rustic consistency.
- To prevent the garlic from burning, add it to the pan after the asparagus and zucchini have started cooking.
- Adjust the amount of mint to your taste for a more or less intense mint flavor.
Your Steak with smashed minted peas is now ready to be savored. The combination of tender steak, fresh vegetables, and minted peas offers a delightful blend of flavors and textures that will leave everyone satisfied. Enjoy this healthy and delicious dish!
