When you’re serving steak straight up like this, it’s super important to have fully flavoured good quality beef. I prefer grass fed as I find it more balance in flavour and moister and more tender in texture. My Dad tells me it’s higher in omega 3 fats or something so it’s better for you.

Of course it’s all about personal preference. If you haven’t ever done a side by side comparison I highly recommend picking up a grass fed and grain fed steak and doing a little tasting experiment. While you’re at it you could also branch out and try different cuts.

1 scotch fillet steak approx 1cm (1/2in) thick
extra virgin olive oil
salt & pepper

Remove your steak from the fridge at least an hour before you’re ready to cook.

Preheat your BBQ until very hot. Using your palms, push steak to flatten out to about one and a half times the original diameter. Rub steaks with a little oil and season well on both sides.

Cook steaks turning once, about 2 minutes each side for rare or longer if you prefer.

Place steak on a warmed dinner plate, drizzle with more extra virgin olive oil and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes but preferably 10. Serve with a well dressed green salad and if you’re feeling adventurous, the toasted breadcrumb salsa below.
