Lots of us need cooking inspiration during this time so we have asked Chef Gary O’Hanlon to join Susan to share simple and popular recipes that you can get involved with and try out.
This week's recipe is Steak and eggs with tomato and roast serrano salsa
Serves 2
Ingredients
4 medallions of fillet of beef
sea salt and black pepper to season
Drizzle of olive oil
½ head baby gem lettuce, split through the root
Salsa
2 tomatoes, diced
½ red onion, finely chopped
12 leaves basil, sliced
8 serrano chilli slices, chopped
juice of 1-2 limes
80-100ml olive oil
seasoning
Method
Season the fillet medallions well
Brush the cut side of the baby gem with olive oil and season well, set aside
Heat a frying pan and add a drizzle of oil
When at smoke point, add the beef and let fry for 3-4 minutes until coloured
Turn the steak and immediately add in the baby gem, cut side down
Whist that’s frying add the tomato, onion, chillies, basil and seasoning to a bowl and mix well
Now add in the lime juice and approx. 60ml of the olive oil
Lift out the steak and leave to rest for 2 minutes as well as the baby gem.
Now split the baby gem in half through the root to create a wedge, set aside.
You may or may not want to add some more olive oil to the salsa. Some like it wet whilst others like it just bound.
Place 2 medallions on a serving plate, add a wedge of baby gem and half of the salsa.
Serve.
