Ingredients

  • Garlic Clove: 2 garlic cloves, cut into slivers
  • Black Kalamata Olive: 25g pitted black kalamata olive, halved (about 8)
  • Chopped Tomato: 400g can chopped tomato
  • Red Onion: 1 red onion, halved and sliced
  • Pepper: 1 orange pepper, deseeded, quartered and sliced
  • Oregano: 1/2 tsp dried oregano or 1 tbsp fresh
  • Oil: 1-cal oil spray
  • Balsamic Vinegar: 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • Celery: 2 celery sticks, sliced
  • Caper: 1 tbsp caper
  • Spinach: 140g fresh spinach
  • Steak: 200g extra-lean fillet steak

Directions

  1. For the caponata, spray a large, wide non-stick pan with 3 sprays of oil, and add the onion and garlic. Cover and cook for 5 mins, stirring halfway through to brown them.
  2. Tip in the tomatoes and a can of water, then stir in all the other caponata ingredients. Cover the pan and leave to simmer for 30 mins.
  3. Heat a griddle or small non-stick frying pan. Generously grind black pepper over the steak and sear on both sides, about 6 mins in total, until cooked to your liking. Allow to rest while you wilt the spinach in a covered pan on a low heat.
  4. Spoon the caponata onto 2 serving plates, top with the spinach, then slice the beef and arrange on top.
