Here's an idea for something a little bit different the next time you fancy a steak. This steak sandwich with chilli butter is so delicious that it's hard to believe how little time it takes to prepare.
Method
- First make the chilli butter so that it has time to firm up in the fridge. Mix the red chilli into the softened butter with the lemon juice and parsley.
- Transfer onto a sheet of non-stick baking parchment, shape into a roll about 4 cm thick and wrap up tightly. Chill for at least 1 hour until firm.
- Preheat a cast iron ridged griddle pan or a barbecue. Place the steaks, red peppers and red onions in a shallow dish and sprinkle over the balsamic vinegar, olive oil and season with salt and pepper, turning to coat.
- Arrange the vegetables on the hot griddle pan or barbecue. Cook the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, turning once.
- The steaks will take 2-3 minutes on each side for medium rare. The time will depend on the thickness of the steaks and how well done you like your meat. Leave to rest for a few minutes.
- Split the french stick and cut into four pieces or split the ciabatta rolls and fill with dressed salad leaves and the grilled vegetables.
- Top with the rested steaks and add a slice or two of the chilli butter. Arrange on plates to serve.
