Recipe By Michael Weldon

Ingredients

  • 2 garlic cloves

  • 3 tbs capers

  • 1 pickled jalapeno, seeds removed

  • ¼ bunch fresh tarragon

  • ½ bunch fresh chives

  • ½ bunch fresh parsley

  • ½ cup Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 tbs Coles mustard

  • ½ lemon, juice

  • ½ tsp sea salt

  • 2 anchovies

  • 2 Coles scotch fillet steaks

  • sea salt

  • Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

Method

  • Add the garlic, capers and jalapenos to a mortar and pestle, pound into a paste. Add the herbs and salt, pound until the herbs are broken up. Add the extra virgin olive oil, mustard and lemon juice, mix until combined. 

  • Heat a BBQ until it smokes. Season the steaks with sea salt and drizzle with olive oil. Place onto the grill and cook for 1-1.5 minutes then turn the steak 90 degrees and cook for a further 1-1.5 minutes to get bar marks, turn and repeat the process on the other side. Once the steak is cooked, remove from the heat and rest for a couple of minutes.

  • Carve the steak into 1.5 cm slices and serve on a platter to share. Spoon over the dressing to coat the steak.

  • Optional: Pair this dish with your favourite side salad and some French fries.
