Monthly Meal Monday | Peach Salsa Steak

Enjoy the summer with this easy AND healthy Peach Salsa Steak!

Ingredients:

For the steak:

• 2 Steaks — 6 oz New York Strips/1 inch thick
• Salt and Pepper, to taste
• 1 Tbsp Olive Oil

For the salsa:

• Tomato
• Lime
• ½ Onion
• 1 Jalapeno
• 1 Red Bell Pepper — cored and cut into pieces
• 2 Peaches
• Cilantro (optional)
• Salt and Pepper, to taste

Recipe:

1. Let steaks come to room temperature.
2. Season steaks on both sides with salt and pepper, to taste.
3. Preheat skillet over high heat until just beginning to smoke. Add olive oil and heat until shimmering.
4. Lower heat to medium and add steaks. Let steaks cook undisturbed for 3 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Let steaks cook 1 minute longer each side for medium -well or well-done, depending on the size of steaks.
5. Remove steaks and let them rest on a plate. Let steaks rest for 5 minutes to retain juices and allow heat to evenly distribute and finish cooking.
6. While the steaks are resting, wipe out skillet. To the dry skillet, add the halved onion, jalapeno, red bell pepper. Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes or until charred.
7. Remove vegetables from the skillet and allow to cool slightly. Chop the jalapeno, onion, and bell pepper, and add to a bowl. Deseed a tomato, chop, and add to bowl. Chop peaches, and add to bowl. 
8. Add 1 Tbsp of cilantro, if using, and the juice of 1 lime. Season with salt and stir to combine.
9. Slice steak and top with salsa. Enjoy as is or in a tortilla!
