Ingredients

800g Beef skirt steak

Marinade:

1 small Brown onion, roughly chopped

75ml Balsamic vinegar

2 tbsp. Extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 tsp Freshly ground pepper

1/2 bunch Coriander, including stalks

Chargrilled vegetables:

1 Yellow capsicum, seeds and stem removed, sliced thickly lengthwise

1 Red capsicum, seeds and stem removed, sliced thickly lengthwise

2 Brown onions, sliced thinly into rounds

1 tbsp. Extra-virgin olive oil

400g tin Borlotti beans, rinsed

2 large Vine-ripened tomatoes, quartered

1 tbsp. Balsamic vinegar

Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste

To serve:

Ripe avocados, sliced

1 bunch Rocket leaves, washed

Extra-virgin olive oil, to serve

Method

  • Place marinade ingredients in a food processor and process until finely chopped and almost a paste. Marinate steak for at least 30 minutes in the marinade blend or up to two hours.
  • Preheat a char grill over high heat . Remove meat from marinade and wipe off what you can. Cook steak pieces 2 minutes on each side for medium rare or 5 minutes for medium and set aside to rest. Wipe pan with paper towel and do not change temperature of pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, toss capsicum, and onion with oil, salt and pepper then add to chargrill pan. Cook for 8-­‐10 minutes until very soft, add tomatoes and cook until grilled and softened, adding the balsamic vinegar toward the end. Place rocket leaves on a platter, top with caramelized vegetables and beans, then add avocado slices and top with thinly sliced steak.
  • Drizzle with some extra balsamic and olive oil and serve.

Tips

  • You can serve salad rolled up as burritos in store-­‐ bought , warmed flour tortillas as a ‘do-­‐it-­‐yourself’ rustic dinner in the center of the table
  • Leftovers can be wrapped up in a wrap the night before in foil and toasted the next day for lunch.
  • Can serve with tinned refried beans instead of whole borlotti beans.
  • You can substitute any soft cheese here such as goats cheese, grated tasty or labne (Mediterranean yoghurt cheese)
