Chili Steak with Pan Salsa

By Gothelp

Ingredients

• 8 ounces thick steaks such as rib-eye,, trimmed of fat and cut into 2 portions; 1/2-inch
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
• 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 plum tomatoes, diced
• 2 teaspoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

1. Sprinkle both sides of steak with chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook, turning once, 1 to 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a plate, cover with foil and let rest while you make the salsa.

2. Add tomatoes, lime juice and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to the pan and cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes soften, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in cilantro and any accumulated juices from the steaks. Serve the steaks topped with the salsa.
