Ingredients
1/3 cup finely chopped sour cornichons or dill pickles
1/3 cup pitted green olives
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp capers, optional
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sherry or red-wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp fresh-ground black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
4 eye-of-the-round, filet mignon, or sirloin-tipped steaks, each about 125 g
1/2 cup dry white wine
Instructions
Combine cornichons, olives, parsley, green onion, capers, 1 tablespoon olive oil, sherry, garlic and black pepper. Leave at room temperature while continuing with recipe. Or cover and refrigerate, up to 1 day.
For steaks, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan set over medium-high heat. When very hot, add steaks. Sauté just until juices begin to rise from centre of steaks, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook until juices rise again, about 2 minutes. Remove steaks to heated plates.
Pour wine into frying pan, swirling to get up browned bits. Boil until wine just coats pan bottom, about 1 minute. Then stir in all of salsa at once and immediately remove from heat. Spoon over steaks and serve.
