INGREDIENTS

Steaks:

• 2 fillets, about 150g, 2cm thick

• 4 tbsp good quality olive oil

• 2 tbsp butter

• 6 - 8 garlic cloves, crushed

• 1 sprig rosemary

• Freshly ground black pepper

• Rock salt

• Truffle oil

DIRECTIONS

1. Season the fillets generously with salt, black pepper & 1 tablespoon olive oil and marinate overnight with crushed garlic cloves & the rosemary sprig.

2. Heat a heavy bottom pan or cast-iron skillet over a medium to high heat until smoking. Pour olive oil into pan and sear steak for a minute. Add the garlic pieces and rosemary sprig from the marinade into the pan to add flavour to the fillets.

3. Using a pair of tongs, flip the steak for another minute to the other side. Flip and render the sides for 30 seconds on each. Flip back again and add the butter, tilt the pan and baste the steaks, cooking for 1 minute then repeat with the other side.

4. Remove from heat, drizzle with truffle oil and rest for 2 minutes.

5. To serve, layer with matchstick fries, followed by the steak, rocket and finally parmesan. Drizzle with pan juices, crispy garlic, salt & freshly ground black pepper.
