At Christmas we were visiting home to New Zealand. While there we went to dinner round at my aunty's and she made this splendid dish. I made her fork up the recipe because it was so wonderful. Ingredients:
4 (180 -200 g) beef steak fillets, best quality possible (4 x 180-200g) |
sea salt |
black pepper |
olive oil |
3 slices white bread, toasted |
5 -6 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
125 g butter, melted |
favourite mustard |
Directions:
1. For this recipe you will also need tomato relish and 1/2 cup pesto.
2. Trim fat and membrane from each steak and season with sea salt and black pepper.
3. In a smoking hot pan, add olive oil and sear the meat until it is sealed all over.
4. Allow 2 minutes each side.
5. Leave to rest while preparing crust.
6. In a food processor, make fresh bread crumbs and process the fresh parsley.
7. Combine together in a bowl, season with sea salt and pepper, add garlic and melted butter.
8. Smear each steak with mustard.
9. Place crust on each fillet piling on top.
10. Place in 220° oven for 15-20 minutes.
11. Rest meat 10 minutes before serving.
12. While resting, prepare sauce.
13. Gently heat 1 cup of your favourite tomato relish and 1/2 cup pesto.
