Method
- Heat a non-stick griddle pan until hot over high heat. Drizzle the olive oil all over the steaks and gently rub it in. Then mix the rub ingredients together to form a paste and rub that over the steaks. Place the steaks on a very hot griddle for about 4-6 minutes a side for medium rare. This will depend on the thickness of the steaks.
- Remove the steaks from the heat, cover and allow to rest for 5 minutes. When the steaks have rested, cut them across the grain in slices. Serve on a large plate or board with the relish alongside it.
- For the relish, heat the oil and sauté the garlic and spring onion for 2 minutes until soft. Add the paprika and cook for a minute. Add the can of tomatoes and simmer for 15 minutes until the relish thickens. Season with salt, pepper and sugar. Garnish the steak slices with micro greens and serve.
Siba’s Tips
If you don’t have steak, you can enjoy the relish with any type of protein you have at your disposal, chicken, fish, lamb etc. Or if you to go plant-based, a nice and big roasted brown mushroom. You can also enjoy this meal with pap, rice or couscous too.
