Serves 2
Ingredients
- 2 x pasture fed, free-range beef steaks
- 1 tbs olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Salad
- 2 large handfuls of rocket leaves, washed
- 1 punnet cherry tomatoes, halved
- 6 slices prosciutto, salt cured, free from nitrates and sugar
- 2 tbs pine nuts
- 1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbs red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper
- If you are in Maintenance, add 60g parmesan cheese, shaved
Method
Pre-heat the oven to 200c.
Rub the steak with olive oil then season liberally with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Place the prosciutto on a tray covered in baking paper. Bake for 10 minutes or until crispy. Remove from the oven to cool. Once cool enough to handle, break into small pieces. Set aside.
Place the pine nuts on a tray and roast in the oven for 5 minutes, or until golden. Keep an eye on the nuts as they can burn quickly. Set aside.
Place the cherry tomatoes on a tray and sprinkle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Cook for 20-30 minutes until roasted and cooked through. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
Heat the BBQ or a grill pan until hot. Turn down the heat to medium-high. Place the steaks on the heat and cook to your liking. Once cooked, remove from the heat and cover lightly with foil. Rest for half the length of the cooking time. So if the cooking time was 6 minutes, rest for 3 minutes.
Assemble the salad while the steak is resting. In a large bowl, mix the rocket, pine nuts, prosciutto, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper together. If in Maintenance, add in the parmesan. Mix until well-combined.
Serve the steak with the salad on the side. A dollop of your favourite mustard will go perfectly with the steak.
