The Portuguese steak sandwich: garlic-rubbed beef in a roll.

Ingredients

  • Olive oil 2 tbsp
  • Sugar 0.5 tsp
  • Fresh basil
  • Fresh parsley
  • Fresh chilli 1
  • Garlic 0.5
  • Rocket 2 handfulls
  • Spring onions 2
  • Beef fillet 2 small
  • Ciabatta 2
  • Malt vinegar 1 tbsp

Method

  1. Rub the garlic over the steaks then put in a sandwich bag and tip in the olive oil, sherry vinegar and parsley stalks.
  2. Smoosh everything together, then use a rolling pin to bash the steaks a few times.
  3. Leave for 1-2 hours.
  4. 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.
  5. Heat a griddle or frying pan to high.
  6. Brush away the garlic and parsley stalks from the steaks and season well.
  7. Sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side then rest on a plate.
  8. Put the ciabatta halves onto the plate, toasted-side down, to soak up any juices.
  9. Slice the steaks then stuff into the rolls with the green sauce and rocket.
