T-Bone Steaks with Parmesan and Herb Dressing

This delicious dressing has myriad uses: spoon it over or serve alongside hot flatbreads or pizza, drizzle over a tomato salad or toss through hot pasta.

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

4 x T-bone steaks
olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Parmesan dressing
zest 1 lemon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon chilli flakes
1 spring onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons shredded basil, dill or flat-leaf parsley
50 gram piece Parmesan 

METHOD

Parmesan dressing: Whisk the lemon juice, oil, garlic and chilli flakes together in a bowl and season. Stir in the lemon zest, spring onion, capers and the herb of choice. Chop the Parmesan into small pieces about the same size as the capers and stir into the dressing.

To cook: Rub the steaks with oil, salt and pepper. Heat a sauté pan or ridged grill until hot and cook the steaks for about 3–4 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking.

To serve: Top each T-bone with a spoonful of dressing, serving the rest separately. Serve with rocket mashed potatoes.
