Instructions
Gremolata Baby Potatoes
Wash and dry the parsley well. Place into a food processor with the garlic and blend until finely chopped. Add the lemon juice and vinegar and blend until well combined. Add the oil slowly while blending. It should resemble pesto. Season to taste. Cut the potatoes in half and gently combine with the gremolata in a large bowl. Season again.
Anchovy Butter
Using a stick blender, blend the butter, anchovies and zest together. Spoon into pinch pots and chill for a bit.
Steaks
Season the steak salt and pepper. Heat the butter and oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat and brown both sides of the meat. Reduce to a medium heat and cook for a further 3 minutes per side for rare. Allow to rest for 3 minutes before slicing.
To Serve
Serve slices of steak on a bed of gremolata potatoes with anchovy butter and some roasted tomatoes.
Notes
To roast tomatoes, place them on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and add seasoning. Roast at 200 °C for 15 minutes.
