Bavette steak with rosemary chimichurri
Ingredients
- Large bunch of parsley, finely chopped
- Small bunch of oregano, leaves finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 2 rosemary sprigs, leaves finely chopped
- 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
- 35ml red wine vinegar
- 30ml rapeseed oil
- 1kg piece of bavette steak
- 4 Portobello mushrooms, brushed clean and cut into thick slices
- 12 whole cherry tomatoes on the vine
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Watercress, to serve
Cooking instructions
- Mix together the parsley, oregano, garlic, rosemary, chilli, red wine vinegar and a third of the oil. Season with a little salt and pepper then leave to infuse for approximately 2 hours.
- When ready to cook, heat a large griddle pan over a high heat.
- Brush the steak on both sides with the remaining oil, then, when the griddle is smoking hot, carefully put it on to the pan and fry for 4 minutes on each side. Remove the steak, wrap in tin foil and leave to rest.
- Put the sliced mushrooms on to the griddle in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Take the mushrooms off the griddle, then add the tomatoes and cook for approximately 2 minutes as well.
- Carve the steak against the grain into long, thin slices and arrange the slices on a serving platter. Drizzle with a generous amount of chimichurri sauce and serve with the mushrooms, tomatoes and watercress.
