Description
The ultimate fakeaway upgrade – steak and king prawns, smoky spices, and everything on one tray.
Ingredients
Scale
For the traybake:
- Spray oil
- 2 sirloin or ribeye steaks (total weight 400–500g / 14oz–1lb 2oz)
- 2 red onions, halved then finely sliced
- 4 peppers (a mix of orange, red and yellow), deseeded and cut into strips
- 150g (5½oz) cooked and peeled king prawns
For the fajita spice mix:
- ½ tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp garlic granules
- ½ tsp onion granules
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
To serve:
- Handful of coriander leaves
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan (400°F), Gas Mark 6.
- Spray a large baking sheet with a little oil and lay the steaks in the centre.
- Mix all the fajita spice mix ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Arrange the sliced onions and peppers around the steaks, then sprinkle the spice mix over everything. Spray the top lightly with oil, then place in the oven and cook for 15 minutes.
- Remove the tray from the oven and lift the steaks onto a plate to rest. Add the king prawns to the baking tray, give everything a stir, then pop the tray back into the oven for 5 minutes.
- Use a sharp knife to finely slice the rested steaks. Remove the tray from the oven, then mix the sliced steak back into the fajita mix.
- Serve scattered with coriander leaves and with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- These cooking times give a medium-rare steak. The exact result will depend on the thickness of your steaks.
- To bulk this out, stir in a drained 400g tin of black beans or pinto beans at the same time as the prawns.
- Serve in warm tortilla wraps with shredded lettuce, refried beans, salsa and lime — or keep it low carb in lettuce cups.
- GLP-1 tip: For a lower-carb, easier-to-eat serving, skip the wraps and serve over a simple green salad with extra lime. The high protein content (39g per serving) makes this particularly supportive if you’re eating smaller portions.
