Paneer steak is a delicious vegetarian alternative to traditional steak. In this recipe, paneer is marinated and then grilled or pan-seared to create a rich, flavourful, steak-like experience. You can experiment with different marinades, but here I’ve used a fragrant pesto sauce and served it with vibrant cherry tomato rice.

Steps

50 minutes

1

Prepare the paneer steak: Slice the paneer into two thick pieces. Marinate them in pesto sauce and refrigerate for a while to absorb the flavours.
2

Heat some oil in a grill pan or skillet and grill the paneer slices on both sides until golden and lightly crisp.
3

Meanwhile, prepare the rice: Heat oil in a pan and sauté the chopped garlic until fragrant.
4

Add the bell peppers and cherry tomatoes. Stir-fry for a minute.
5

Add red chilli flakes and mixed herbs. Stir-fry for another minute.
6

Pour in the tomato puree and cook until the oil starts to separate.
7

Add salt, sugar, and the blanched broccoli. Mix well.
8

Finally, add the steamed rice. Combine everything gently and cook for another 2 minutes. Turn off the heat.
9

Once the paneer is nicely grilled, serve it hot with the prepared cherry tomato rice.
