Steak with Blistered Vegetables & Fish Sauce Dressing

November 26

If the weather is good, try cooking this on the barbecue rather than indoors to give it that lovely smokey flavour.

  • serves Serves 4
  • time 30mins

Method

  1. 1. Put the steak in a dish with a drizzle of oil, the fish sauce and plenty of black pepper. Set aside.
  2. 2. Place a griddle pan over a high heat. Toss the vegetables in a little oil, then griddle them for 2–3 minutes on all sides, or until lightly charred. Tip into a serving dish.
  3. 3. Remove the steak from the marinade, add to the pan and griddle for 1–2 minutes each side. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest.
  4. 4. To make the dressing, put the lime juice, fish sauce and sugar into a bowl and whisk until the sugar has dissolved, then whisk in the oils.
  5. 5. Slice the steak into generous slices and arrange on top of the griddled veggies. Scatter with the coriander leaves and peanuts, drizzle over the dressing and serve.

The right bread makes all the difference here – chewy, crispy ciabatta is perfect. If you don’t fancy making your own aïoli, you can cheat by smashing a garlic clove with the back of a knife until you have a smooth paste and then mix it with a little store-bought mayonnaise.

Griddled Skirt Steak with ChimmiChurri Sauce

May 08

To keep this steak recipe strictly one pan, you can source some good quality chimichurri from the supermarket. If you can’t get hold of a good store-bought version of this Argentinian salsa, I’ve provided my go-to chimichurri recipe which can be made and stored in a jar with a slick of olive oil and will keep in the fridge for a week or so.
