  • Beef Fillet  -  2 small
  • Olive Oil  -  2 tbs
  • Vinegar  -  1 tbs
  • Parsley  -  Leaves
  • Ciabatta  -  2
  • Rocket  -  2 handfulls
  • Basil Leaves  -  Small bunch
  • Parsley  -  Small bunch
  • Jalapeno  -  1
  • Vinegar  -  1 tbs
  • Spring Onions  -  2 chopped
  • Garlic  -  1/2

Instructions

STEP 1

Rub the garlic over the steaks then put in a sandwich bag and tip in the olive oil, sherry vinegar and parsley stalks. Smoosh everything together, then use a rolling pin to bash the steaks a few times. Leave for 1-2 hours.

STEP 2

To make the sauce, put all the ingredients into a blender with 1 tbsp water and whizz until as smooth as possible. This will make more than you’ll need for the recipe but will keep for a week in an airtight jar.

STEP 3

Heat a griddle or frying pan to high. Brush away the garlic and parsley stalks from the steaks and season well. Sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side then rest on a plate. Put the ciabatta halves onto the plate, toasted-side down, to soak up any juices.

STEP 4

Slice the steaks then stuff into the rolls with the green sauce and rocket.
