Ingredients

For the Panner Steaks

• 400 gms paneer or cottage cheese
• 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Peri Peri Sauce

• 6-8 dried red chillies
• 1 cup chopped red bell peppers
• 1/2 cup coriander leaves
• 10 cloves of garlic
• 1" piece of ginger
• 1 tbsp vinegar
• 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
• 1 tsp salt or to taste

For the Tossed Vegetables

• 1 cup blanched vegetables as per your choice
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp chopped garlic
• 2-3 tbsp peri peri sauce
• 1 tsp vinegar
• 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
• Salt to taste

Instructions

• Soak the dry red chillies in water overnight. Deseed them depending on how hot you want the sauce.
• To make the Peri Peri sauce, blend together the soaked red chillies, chopped red bell peppers, coriander leaves, garlic, ginger, vinegar, and black pepper powder. Avoid adding water.
• Remove it to a large bowl. Add a teaspoon of salt or more as per taste. Mix.
• Heat the grill pan and brush it well with oil. Keeping the flame on a high, place the paneer steaks coated well with the peri peri sauce. Brush them with a bit more sauce on top.
• Cook it on medium to low flame for a few minutes. Avoid moving the pieces so that they get good grill marks.
• Turn them over, and cook the other side the same way for another few minutes. Remove and keep aside.
• In the same pan, add a tablespoon of oil. Add in the chopped garlic and cook until it colorizes.
• Add in the blanched vegetables. I have blanched carrots, beans, red and yellow bell peppers, peas, and sweet corn in hot water with a bit of salt added. Mix well.
• Add in 2-3 tablespoons of the peri peri sauce and toss the vegetables. Check the salt and add more if required.
• Finish with vinegar and black pepper powder. Mix well and keep aside.
• To assemble, place the vegetables in a serving dish. Add the paneer steaks. And serve along with <a href="https://madscookhouse.com/pan-roasted-potatoes/">pan roasted potatoes</a>.
• The Peri Peri Paneer Steak with Tossed Vegetables is ready to serve.
