Simple 5:2 Recipes.QUICK FRIED BEEF ESCOLOPES WITH SALSA VERDE

224 cals per serving

Serves 2 Prep time: 10 minutes Infuse time: 15 minutes+ Cook time: 5 minutes

For the salsa;

   2 leaves flat leaf parsley

2 basil leaves

2 mint leaves

1 large/ 2 small gherkins

1 garlic clove, peeled

1 tsp capers

2 anchovy fillets

1 tsp red wine vinegar

juice of ½ lime

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

2 lean beef escalopes (up to 150g each)

Coarsely chop the herbs, gherkins, garlic and anchovy fillets. Place in a bowl with the capers. Add in the red wine vinegar, lime juice, mustard and olive oil. Add in a tablespoon water and some ground black pepper. Stir and set aside (the flavours develop best if left for up to an hour).

Heat a heavy based frying pan to a medium high heat. Add in your escalopes and fry for 1-2 minutes each side, depending on how you like your beef. Serve with the salsa and green beans
