Brown sugar grilled steak and cutting board sauce bruschetta
Italian 15 Mins Prep · 20 Mins Cook
- To make the white bean purée, start by juicing one half of the lemon. Place 1 tbsp of lemon juice, beans, 2 tbsp of oil and 1 garlic clove in a food processor. Season and blend to a smooth consistency. Transfer to a small container and set aside.
- To make the board sauce, finely chop the baby leek, herbs, 1 garlic clove and chilli on a cutting board with a lip (to catch all the juices). Zest the other lemon half over and stir 4 tbsp of olive oil through.
- Heat the grill or barbecue to a medium-high heat. In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp of olive oil, smoked paprika, sugar, 1/2 tsp of sea salt and black pepper. Generously rub the spice mixture over the steak.
- Place the steak on the grill rack and cook for 4-6 minutes per side or until you’ve reached your preferred degree of doneness.
- Place the steak on the cutting board over the chopped leeks and herbs to rest for 5 minutes before cutting into 2cm-thick slices.
- Place the cherry tomatoes, 1 tbsp of olive oil and remaining sea salt in a bowl. Toss together. Place on the grill and cook for approx. 5 minutes or until charred and blistered.
- Drizzle the ciabatta slices evenly with the rest of the olive oil. Place on the hot grill for 30 seconds on each side or until toasted.
- Spread approx. 1 tablespoon of the white bean purée over each toast, top with steak slices, cutting board sauce and blistered tomatoes. Garnish with basil and serve.
