Method

Use a prime cut in this recipe or opt for a minute steak for a wallet-friendly alternative, serve with salsa verde and a vibrant rocket salad for the perfect quick and easy meal, ready in just 15 minutes.

  1. First, make the salsa verde. Combine the garlic, capers, gherkins, anchovies, parsley, lemon zest and 90ml of the oil and mix to make a chunky sauce (either in a food processor or by chopping everything finely by hand). Squeeze in some lemon juice to taste.
  2. Heat a pan until searingly hot, brush the steaks with a little oil and cook for 1 1/2 minutes on the first side, and 1 minute on the second. Remove from the pan and leave to rest for a minute, then season.
  3. Serve with a dollop of salsa verde, plus some rocket salad, boiled new potatoes and roasted veg.
