INGREDIENTS
1 medium orange
1 medium lemon
1 medium lime
4 tablespoons honey
1-1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
4 beef flat iron steaks or top sirloin steaks (6 ounces each and 3/4 inch thick)
1/2 cup water
1 cup julienned peeled jicama (Mexican potato, can be subbed for normal potatoes if you can’t source these from your usual supermarket/store)
1 medium mango, peeled and cubed
METHOD
Cut orange, lemon and lime crosswise in half; squeeze juice from fruits. Stir in honey and salt. Pour 1/3 cup marinade into a bowl or shallow dish.
Add steaks and turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 3 hours, turning once. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
Drain steaks, discarding marinade.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook steaks until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), 6-8 minutes on each side. Remove and keep warm.
Add water and reserved marinade. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to 3 tablespoons, 10-12 minutes.
Add jicama and mango; heat through.
Serve with steaks.
If desired, garnish with orange, lemon or lime slices.

Nutritional Benefits Of Jicama
One of the best things about jicama comes in the form of a prebiotic called inulin, which is touted for its ability to help with gut health. Jicama is also rich in fibre and potassium, along with vitamins C and A. It’s naturally low in calories, but since it’s starchy with a pleasing snap, it makes a great, low-carb substitute for chips or other snack foods.
