Steak and Pasta Salad

 300-450g grilling steak
steak spice
Pasta or Israeli couscous
1-2 tomatoes
avocado
1/2 bell pepper
small garlic clove
lime juice or red wine vinegar
olive oil
coriander

Bring a pot of water to boil, then add the pasta when it is ready and cook following package directions.

Meanwhile, preheat a broiling pan (in a toaster oven will only take 5 minutes) at 200º C (450ºF).  Chop the tomatoes, pepper, and avocado.  Place them in a large bowl, sprinkle with coriander.  Grate the garlic over top, then toss it all with a bit of lime juice/vinegar and olive oil.

When pan is hot, place the steak upon it, and sprinkle with steak spice.  Broil for 2-3 minutes.  Flip the steak, add more spice, and broil for 1 minute.  Reduce the heat to 175ºC (350ºF) and cook for 2-5 minutes depending on thickness.  Turn off the heat, open the oven door, and let it rest for few minutes before slicing.

Slice the steak, and add it along with the drained pasta to the bowl. Toss and serve warm.  The leftovers are great cold for tomorrows lunch or supper.
