How To Make Beef Steak(Beef Steak Recipe)





ingredients:
For the steak:
• 200g sirloin or rib-eye steaks
• olive oil
• a sprig of fresh rosemary
• 1 clove of garlic, halved

For the peanut sauce:
• 100g roasted monkey nuts, shelled, skins removed
• 50g sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
a few sprigs of fresh thyme, leaves picked
• 1 smoked chipotle chilli, crumbled (or 1 teaspoon smoked paprika)
• 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely sliced
• 100ml extra virgin olive oil
• a swig of rum
• juice of 1 lime
• 1–2 fresh green chillies, stalks removed, seeds left in
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the Mexican salsa :
• a small bunch of fresh coriander
• a small bunch of fresh mint, leaves picked
• 1 clove of garlic, peeled
• 1–2 fresh red or green chillies, deseeded
• 4 large spring onions, trimmed
• 2 tomatoes, roughly chopped
• juice of 1–2 limes

How To Make:
-Put a dry frying pan on a medium heat and toast the nuts and sesame seeds for a few minutes until lightly browned. Add the oregano, cumin seeds, thyme, chipotle chilli and garlic and cook for another minute or so. Tip into a liquidizer with the extra virgin olive oil, rum, lime juice, fresh chilli, salt and pepper, and water. Whiz until shiny and smooth, then have a taste and adjust with a bit more salt, chilli or lime juice if needed. Put to one side.
-Set aside a few of the coriander leaves, then chop the top of the bunch, stalks and all, with the mint leaves, garlic, chilli, spring onions and tomatoes until it’s all very fine . Sprinkle over a generous pinch of salt and pepper, then add most of the lime juice and a good lug of extra virgin olive oil. Mix together on the board, taste it, season with more salt, pepper, lime juice or chilli, and put it into a bowl.

Get a frying pan, griddle pan or barbecue screaming hot and season both sides of your steaks with salt, pepper and a good drizzle of olive oil. Add the steaks to the pan or barbecue. Turn every minute . As it cooks, whip the meat with the sprig of rosemary and rub it with the cut side of the garlic clove for some extra flavour.
spread the peanut sauce all over a large serving platter or divide between your plates, and gently place the slices of steak on top. Finish with a few dollops of salsa, and scatter over your remaining coriander leaves. Drizzle over any resting juices and ready to serve....
