Once in a while, my heart yearns to steer away from super spicy curries and indulge in something different, yet enticing and fulfilling. That’s when my adventure mood kicks in, and I start to explore the world – I mean the culinary world.

I’ve great love for steak, and in this recipe I’ve paired it with Moroccan spices. I know steak always taste great with rich gravy. But I decided to make a puree this time with roasted beetroot.

As it’s roasted in the oven, these beetroots become deliciously colorful and flavorful. It just goes really well with the Moroccan steak – there’s nothing better.

And oh, the steamed veggies. Whenever I cook steak, I can’t stop myself from steaming some veggies. So there you go. More greens in your diet.

Dig in. Enjoy this fabulous steak with roasted beetroot puree!
