Preparation
Roast the zucchini
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Quarter the zucchini lengthwise; halve crosswise.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil and the spices.
- Roast, flipping halfway, 10 to 12 min., until tender.
Cook the steaks
- Meanwhile, pat the steaks dry; season with S&P.
- In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the steaks* and cook, brushing with the BBQ sauce occasionally, 3 to 5 min. per side, until cooked as desired (to ensure a consistent temperature throughout, turn over at least twice).
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest before slicing.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, pick the cilantro leaves off the stems.
- Halve the lime; juice ½ and quarter the remaining ½.
Make the salad
- In a large bowl, combine the cilantro, lime juice and 1 tbsp olive oil (double for 4 portions).
- Add the zucchini and S&P; toss well.
Plate your dish
- Divide the salad and steaks between your plates.
- Garnish with the lime wedges. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
