Peppered beef steaks with red onion salsa

Meal type: Main meal

Serves: 2

Preparation time: 17 minutes

Cooking time: 37 minutes

  1. Make salsa: place tomatoes in bowl, cover with boiling water; leave for 30 seconds. Drain, cool slightly, then peel off and discard skins; de-seed and finely chop flesh.
  2. Put tomato flesh in bowl with tomato juice, 1 teaspoon oil, red onion, horseradish sauce, chopped parsley and black pepper; stir to mix well. Cover and set aside at a cool room temperature for 30-60 minutes to allow flavours to blend.
  3. Preheat grill to medium. Crush peppercorns using a pestle and mortar or rolling pin. Lightly brush steaks all over with remaining oil; coat with crushed peppercorns.
  4. Place steaks on rack in grill pan; grill for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked to your liking, turning once.
  5. Serve hot cooked steaks with red onion salsa spooned alongside. Garnish with extra chopped parsley. Serve with oven baked potatoes or fresh crusty bread and a mixed dark leaf salad.

Variations

  • Use plum tomatoes in place of vine ripened tomatoes. Use 2 shallots in place of red onion.
