Photography by Aaron McLean.
Onglet is a relatively new cut to the New Zealand market. Also known as ‘hanger steak’, it should be cooked no more than medium rare with a good resting time. It’s not fall apart tender, but has fantastic flavour. If not available, use your favourite steak.

2 cloves garlic
zest 1 lemon
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon grain mustard
1 tablespoon horseradish sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salsa: Put the herbs, anchovies, capers, garlic and lemon zest on a board and chop together to form a rough paste. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the oil, mustard, horseradish and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
