Ingredients

  • Beef Fillet2 small
  • Garlic1.5 cloves
  • olive oil2 tbsp
  • Sherry vinegar2 tbsp
  • Parsley StalksLeaves from 1 bunch
  • Ciabatta2
  • Rocket2 handfuls
  • Basil Leaves1 small bunch
  • Jalapeno1
  • Spring onions2 chopped
  • caster sugar1/2 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.
