Ingredients
- 12thin-cut sandwich or minute steaks, about 85g/3oz each, or 6 small sirloin steaks, about 140g/5oz each
- small bunch basil, leaves only
- 2 x balls mozzarella, torn
- 1 tbsp oil
- 300g SunBlush pepper from the deli counter, plus 1 tbsp of their oil
- handful black or green olives
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Method
-
Heat oven to 230C/fan 210C/gas 8. Season steaks, place a few basil leaves on each and split the mozzarella between them. Bring the sides of the steaks together to make an open parcel, securing the edges with a cocktail stick. If making up to a day ahead, cover and chill.
-
Heat a heavy-based roasting tin on a high heat, add the oil and brown the beef on all sides – this should take about 1 min in total and the meat will still be rare in the middle.
-
Add the peppers, their oil and the olives to the tin, pour over the vinegar, then roast for 2-3 mins for medium rare, longer for well done. Cover with foil and leave to rest for up to 5 mins. Scatter over remaining basil before serving.
