Steaks with Grilled Marinated Vegetables

Ingredients

  • 2 courgettes, trimmed and cut into thin strips lengthways
  • 1 red pepper, quartered and deseeded
  • 1 SuperValuyellow or orange pepper, quartered and deseeded
  • 1 aubergine, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 6tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing
  • 2tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 4 x 175g (6oz) rump or sirloin steaks
  • 1tsp mustard
  • 1tsp clear honey
  • ½tsp dried mixed herbs
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Brush the courgette slices, pepper slices and aubergine slices with olive oil until lightly coated. Heat a ridged grill pan, conventional grill or barbecue and grill the vegetables until starting to soften, turning them over once or twice.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 6tbsp olive oil, the white wine vinegar, mustard, honey, herbs and seasoning. Add the hot vegetables to it, stirring until they are well coated. Leave them to cool in the dressing.

  3. When ready to serve, grill or barbecue the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking.

  4. Serve the steaks with the marinated vegetables.

Tip

The secret of grilling the perfect steak is to seal both sides of the meat over or under a high heat, then to lower the heat to medium and continue to cook until the steak is done to your liking.
