Chimichurri salsa with t-boke steak
INGREDIENTS

1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1½ teaspoons dried chilli flakes
2 teaspoons sea salt
4 small cloves garlic, peeled
2 fresh bay leaves
3 cups (1 bunch) fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped coarsely
1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped coarsely
¾ cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped coarsely
¼ cup fresh oregano leaves, chopped coarsely
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, chopped coarsely
1/3 cup (80ml) red wine vinegar
½ cup (125ml) olive oil
4 thick beef T-bone steaks, trimmed (or steak of choice)
METHOD

In a large mortar and pestle, grind peppercorns, chilli, salt and garlic to a smooth paste. Add the chopped herbs (chopping them beforehand helps the pounding process) and continue to pound to a coarse paste. Stir in the vinegar and olive oil.

Brush steaks lightly with some extra olive oil; season steaks with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan or barbecue hot plate until very hot. Cook steaks for 4-5 minutes before turning over.

Dollop a large spoonful of Chimichurri Salsa onto the cooked side of the steak while the second side cooks for a further 4-5 minutes, or until cooked as desired.

Transfer steaks to a serving plate; stand for 5 minutes before serving with remaining Chimichurri Salsa. Serve with boiled new potatoes and a crisp green salad or steamed beans, if desired.
