Touchline Surf and Turf
This succulent combo of sirloin steak and tiger shrimp is just right for a game day.
Serves: 4
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 12 minutes
Syns per serving: 1
Ingredients
- low-calorie cooking spray, such as PAM Olive Oil
- salt and pepper
- 1lb 12oz lean sirloin steaks, all visible fat removed
- 200g/7oz snow peas, trimmed and halved lengthwise
- 200g/7oz cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
- 500g/1lb 2oz cooked, peeled shrimp
- small handful of arugula leaves
For the dressing
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
- 1 tsp artificial sweetener
- ¼ cup fat free French style salad dressing
- 1 tbsp finely chopped chives
Method
1. Spray a ridged griddle pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a high heat. Season the steaks and place in the pan and cook according to your taste (2–3 minutes on each side for rare; 4 minutes on each side for medium; or 5–6 minutes on each side for well done). Remove the steaks from the pan and transfer to a plate.
2. Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil and blanch the snow peas for 1–2 minutes. Drain and refresh in cold water and drain again and place in a large serving bowl or platter, along with the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, shrimp, and arugula.
3. Very thinly slice the beef, saving any juices, and add the slices to the salad ingredients.
4. To make the dressing, mix together all the ingredients in a small bowl. Season and pour over the salad ingredients. Toss to mix and serve immediately.

YUM! This sounds super delicious; I love the combo of steak and shrimp! Though i think I’d switch the french dressing out for italian or something similar; just not a fan of french dressing. But what a yummy-sounding dish!

I love surf and turf, for some reason it does seem very fitting for the super bowl!

We aren’t big seafood connoisseurs, but would go for the steak. The corn on the cob sounds excellent with that dip.
This sounds great. I can see my husband enjoying the salad but he cannot eat crab. I would probably substitute with tuna flakes. Thanks for sharing.

Surf and Turf is not something that I thought to serve at Superbowl festivities. We might have to mix it up this year!

It’s not my first choice either, but you can’t go wrong with seafood or steak for any event, right
?
