Portuguese prego with green piri-piri

Beef · Portuguese classic.

Ingredients

• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 small Beef Fillet
• 2 tbs Olive Oil
• 1 tbs Vinegar
• Leaves Parsley
• 2 Ciabatta
• 2 handfulls Rocket
• Small bunch Basil Leaves
• Small bunch Parsley
• 1 Jalapeno
• 1 tbs Vinegar
• 2 chopped Spring Onions
• 1/2 Garlic
• 1/2 tsp Caster Sugar

Method

1. Continue cooking — Rub the garlic over the steaks then put in a sandwich bag and tip in the olive oil, sherry vinegar and parsley stalks.
2. Roll out — Smoosh everything together, then use a rolling pin to bash the steaks a few times.
3. Blend — Leave for 1-2 hours. To make the sauce, put all the ingredients into a blender with 1 tbsp water and whizz until as smooth as possible.
4. Continue cooking — This will make more than you’ll need for the recipe but will keep for a week in an airtight jar.
5. Fry — Heat a griddle or frying pan to high. Brush away the garlic and parsley stalks from the steaks and season well.
6. Continue cooking — Sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side then rest on a plate.
7. Continue cooking — Put the ciabatta halves onto the plate, toasted-side down, to soak up any juices.
8. Roll out — Slice the steaks then stuff into the rolls with the green sauce and rocket.
