Joe Wicks’ straight up steak with blue mushrooms recipe
JOE Wicks is giving Sun readers an exclusive look at his new recipes and fave exercises to celebrate the upcoming release of his third book Lean in 15: The Sustain Plan.
Your daily meal choices will depend on whether you have completed one of Joe’s workouts that day or are having a rest day.
On workout days you must choose one post-workout, carbohydrate re-fuel meal, two reduced-carbohydrate meals and two snacks.
If you complete a workout in the morning, opt for a high-carb breakfast. If you sweat through exercise after work, choose a high-carb meal for dinner.
On rest days you can choose any three reduced-carb meals and two snacks.
Straight up steak with blue mushrooms
Serves 1
REDUCED-CARB
When I eat out, I love to order a good steak. I couldn’t release a book without at least one steak recipe. This one with blue cheese is off the hook. You’re going to love it. #SteakMe.
Ingredients
2 portobello mushrooms
1 x 240g sirloin steak
Salt and pepper
20g blue cheese (I like to use
Roquefort)
20g mascarpone
Small handful of chives, finely chopped
4 cherry tomatoes on the vine
Large handful of watercress, to serve
Method
Preheat a griddle pan over a high heat and preheat your grill to maximum.
Remove the mushroom stalks and discard. Season the steak and mushrooms with a little salt and pepper.
When the griddle is hot, carefully lay the mushrooms skin side down in the pan, followed by the steak.
Cook the mushrooms for two minutes on one side only and remove. Cook the steak for four minutes on each side for medium rare.
Transfer the steak to a plate and keep warm until you’re ready to eat.
While the steak is cooking, break the blue cheese into a bowl, dollop in the mascarpone and slide in the chives.
Beat the ingredients together until smooth. Spoon and press the mixture into the gilled side of the mushrooms.
Place the mushrooms, cheese side up, on a baking tray with the tomatoes alongside.
Grill the vegetables for about six minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbling up.
It doesn’t matter how you serve this one up – just get all the ingredients onto a plate, chuck on a handful of watercress to freshen things up and get stuck in.
Next try Joe's chicken salad or chicken and pineapple fried rice.
