Recipe
Scotch Beef PGI steak with tequila and lime
Serves 2
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
2 x 200g Scotch Beef PGI bavette or rump steaks
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
For the marinade:
Zest and juice of 1 lime
50ml extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp sea salt flakes
4 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly smashed
30g fresh coriander, finely chopped including the stems
50ml Tequila (optional)
Method:
In a large bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients and set to one side.
Pre-heat a griddle pan or a frying pan until it is piping hot.
Rub each steak with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper on each side.
For a medium cooked steak, cook each steak for four minutes on either side
Once the steaks are cooked place them in the marinade allowing the steaks to rest.
Turn the steaks over after five minutes in the marinade to ensure the moisture is evenly distributed throughout.
Marinate for another five minutes.
Remove the steak from the marinade and slice them.
Serve with tortillas, salsa, guacamole, and chargrilled sweetcorn.
