Ingredients

  • 11⁄2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 x 170g fillet steak
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 2 red onions
  • 200g prepared watermelon, diced
  • 1 tbsp chopped mint or parsley
  • 40g feta, diced
  • a squeeze of lemon juice
  • about 125g shredded crisp lettuce (Romaine, Iceberg or Little Gem)
  • 100g cooked brown rice
  • 4 medium soft tortillas

Step by step

  1. Brush 1⁄2 teaspoon of oil over both sides of the steak and rub on the Cajun seasoning. Preheat a chargrill pan or frying pan on the hob. Cook the steak on a high heat for 11⁄2-2 minutes each side or until done to your liking (timing will also depend on the thickness of the steak). Remove to a plate, season with salt and cover with foil then leave to rest.
  2. Reserve a quarter of one onion for the salsa and cut the rest into wedges. Toss the onion wedges with 1⁄2 teaspoon of oil and some seasoning in a bowl, then chargrill or fry for about 3 minutes each side or until caramelised and tender.
  3. Meanwhile, finely dice the reserved red onion and combine with the watermelon, mint or parsley, feta and a squeeze of lemon juice, plus seasoning, in the bowl that you used for the onion wedges. Mix the lettuce with a squeeze of lemon and 1⁄2 teaspoon of oil in another bowl. Heat the rice through, if not freshly cooked.
  4. Briefly warm the tortillas following pack instructions to soften and slice the steak. To serve, add some of the dressed lettuce to a tortilla, followed by a spoonful of rice. Tuck in some caramelised onions and steak and spoon in the salsa. Wrap up and enjoy.
    Tip
    If you don’t have any Cajun seasoning, try using a pinch each of whichever of the following that you have available: chilli powder, garlic granules or onion powder, thyme or oregano, smoked paprika, ground cumin or coriander.
