Ingredients

  • Beef Fillet (2 small)
  • Garlic (1.5 cloves)
  • Olive Oil (2 tbsp)
  • Sherry Vinegar (2 tbsp)
  • Parsley Stalks (Leaves from 1 bunch)
  • Ciabatta (2)
  • Rocket (2 handfuls)
  • Basil Leaves (1 small bunch)
  • Jalapeno (1)
  • Spring Onions (2 chopped)
  • Caster Sugar (1/2 tsp)

Instructions

Steps

  1. Begin by rubbing garlic over the beef fillets. Place them in a sandwich bag with olive oil, sherry vinegar, and parsley stalks. Mix everything together and use a rolling pin to gently pound the steaks. Let them marinate for 1-2 hours.
  2. Prepare the green sauce by adding all the sauce ingredients into a blender with 1 tablespoon of water. Blend until smooth. This sauce will yield more than needed for this recipe, but it can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
  3. Preheat a griddle or frying pan on high heat. Remove the garlic and parsley stalks from the steaks, then season them generously. Sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side, then let them rest on a plate. Place the ciabatta halves, cut-side down, on the plate to absorb the juices.
  4. Slice the rested steaks and fill the ciabatta rolls with the beef, green sauce, and rocket.
