Balsamic steak and tomato salad

Ingredients

  • 2 Northern Ireland Farm Quality Assured Sirloin Steaks 

For the marinade:

  • 1 tbsp Olive or rapeseed oil
  • 75 ml Balsamic vinegar 
  • 2 Garlic cloves crushed
  • 2 tbsp Honey 
  • A pinch of chilli flakes
  • Fresh milled salt 

For the salad:

  • 330 g Cherry tomatoes
  • 1 handful Rocket leaves
  • 1 handful Parmesan freshly grated
  • A bag of oven chips, cooked as per packet instructions

Method

  • In a large bowl stir the marinade ingredients together.
  • Pour into a large flat dish, add the steaks, cover and marinate for a least 20 minutes.
  • Pre heat an oven and cook the fries as per packet instructions.
  • Heat a large frying pan over a high heat, remove the steaks from the marinade with tongs, hold fat side down for 2 minutes, allowing the fat to render a little and caramelise. Lay the steaks flat and cook the steaks for 1 - 2 minutes on either side.
  • Remove from the pan, place onto a plate, keep warm and rest for 5 minutes. Season with a little salt.
  • Meanwhile, tip the cherry tomatoes into the frying pan along with the remaining marinade. Cook over a high heat for 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften and a sticky sauce forms.
  • Slice the steak and arrange onto a serving platter with tomatoes and rocket leaves. Drizzle sticky balsamic sauce over the meat and sprinkle with parmesan.
  • Serve with oven chips and extra parmesan.
