Sauce up that steak with something other than BBQ sauce tonight. Try this fresh salsa for a simple, colourful finish.
Ingredients
2 flank steaks, about 750 g each
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
SALSA
2 garlic cloves
1 anchovy fillet
1/4 cup drained capers
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp lemon zest
1/2 cup olive oil
1 1/2 cups packed chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
2 avocados, pitted, peeled and cubed
Instructions
PREHEAT barbecue to medium-high. Brush steaks with 2 tbsp oil, then sprinkle with salt. Season with fresh pepper. Barbecue steak, lid closed, 3 to 5 min per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 to 10 min.
WHIRL garlic with anchovy, capers, lemon juice and zest in a food processor until chopped. Add 1/2 cup oil and parsley, and pulse until coarsely chopped but not puréed. Scrape into a bowl and stir in tomatoes and avocado.
SLICE steaks thinly against the grain. Serve with salsa.
