Big steak with persillade

Persillade is a punchy, bright-tasting French sauce based on garlic, parsley, vinegar and olive oil. It's just the thing to accompany a juicy steak or roast vegetables, and even works as a sandwich spread.

Ingredients

  • 400 g thick good-quality scotch fillet steak (around 5 cm thick)
  • salt and black pepper, to season
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • ½ bunch curly parsley
  • 1 tbsp very good quality apple cider vinegar (or any other very good quality vinegar)
  • pinch of sugar
  • 60 ml (¼ cup) extra-virgin olive oil
Resting time: 10 minutes

Instructions

  1. Season the steak very well with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy-based frying pan over high heat and when hot, add the oil. Fry the steak on both sides until cooked to your liking, then rest very well.
  2. Meanwhile, roughly chop the garlic and crush with a good pinch of salt to a coarse paste. Finely shred the parsley and transfer to a bowl with the garlic, vinegar, sugar and olive oil and stir to combine well. Stand for at least 10 minutes.
  3. After resting, flash the steak back in the pan for about 20 seconds on each side. Slice and transfer to a warm serving plate. Spoon over the persillade and serve.
