Beef: Recipes for Steak Sizzler

Steak Slice with Lemon and Thyme

A fragrant, lightly marinated dish

How many it serves: 1
Preparation time:15 Mins
Category : Steak Sizzler
Type: Beef

Ingredients

  • 1 beef rump steak about 2.5cm/1in thick, weighing approx. 600g/1lb 4oz
  • 80ml/2¾fl oz extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
  • ½ lemon, juice and zest
  • 1 tsp sea salt or ½ tsp table salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Recipe Steps

  1. Cut away the fat from around the edge of the steak while you heat a griddle or frying pan
  2. Brush the steak with oil and cook for three minutes on each side for rare meat. Turn the steak at an angle and cook for a further one minute on each side to give attractive griddle marks, or longer if you prefer your meat well-done; the lemon in the post-hoc marinade will 'cook' the steak a little more
  3. While the steak is cooking, place the thyme leaves, garlic, oil, lemon juice and zest, salt and pepper in a wide shallow dish and mix well
  4. Once the steak is cooked, place it in the dish of marinade for four minutes on each side, before removing it to a board and slicing thinly on the diagonal
