Steak on the Beach
Recipe by: Eran Tibi, executive chef at Kapara, kapara. co. uk
Ingredients:
• Beef fillet, portioned into 200g steaks
For the parsley & garlic marinade:
• 100g olive oil
• 250g garlic, peeled
• 150g flat parsley( with stalks)
• 20g Maldon sea salt flakes
For the watermelon chimichurri:
• 100g olive oil
• 5 garlic cloves, peeled and grated
• 20g oregano, chopped
• 50g flat parsley, chopped
• 50g shallots, finely diced
• 150g watermelon cut into 1cm chunks
Method:
1. Start with making the parsley and garlic marinade by placing all of the ingredients into a blender and blending to a puree.
2. Gently massage the marinade into the beef fillet and leave for at least two hours.
3. While the steak is marinading, create the watermelon chimichurri by placing all ingredients except the watermelon into a mixing bowl and gently mixing together while squeezing softly against the sides of the bowl to release the flavours.
4. Once mixed, add the watermelon and gently mix again until combined. Set to the side.
5. Take the marinated steak and place onto a skewer. Cook the steak to your preference( medium-rare recommended), turning occasionally.
6. Once ready, take off heat and allow to rest for 5- 10 minutes.
7. Plate and drape watermelon chimichurri over the top. For extra flavour, sprinkle some feta cheese and spring onions on top and enjoy!
