Elevate your dinner with flavorful herb-marinated steak paired with crispy, cheesy polenta chips.
Ingredients:
  • 500ml chicken stock
  • 170g cornmeal
  • 20g butter, chopped
  • 40g parmesan
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 250.00 ml fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
  • 20.00 ml rosemary leaves, finely chopped
  • 80ml olive oil
  • 500g beef steak
  • 2 rosemary sprigs
  • Cooking oil spray
  • 250g cherry truss tomatoes
  • Mixed salad leaves, to serve
Instructions:
  • Prepare a 19cm square cake pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the stock to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and gradually stream in 1/2 cup of polenta, stirring continuously until fully combined. Cook and stir for 5 minutes until the polenta thickens. Remove from heat and mix in the butter and parmesan. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and allow it to set for 1 hour.
  • Combine garlic, basil, rosemary, and oil in a jug. Season well and stir to combine. Reserve one-third of the oil mixture. Place steaks in a glass or ceramic dish and pour over the remaining oil mixture. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200C. Cut the polenta into thick batons on a clean work surface. Coat the polenta chips with the remaining polenta on a plate and add rosemary sprigs on top. Arrange the coated polenta chips and rosemary on a baking tray, then spray with oil. Bake for 20 mins until lightly golden. On another tray, place the tomatoes and spray with oil, then bake alongside the polenta for the final 10 minutes.
  • As the polenta chips crisp up in the oven, preheat a chargrill on medium heat. Sear steaks for 2 minutes on each side for a perfect medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your desired doneness. Place the steaks on a plate, cover them with foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes. Finally, thinly slice the steaks before serving.
  • Place the steak elegantly on serving plates and generously drizzle with the flavorful reserved oil mixture. Pair this mouthwatering dish with crispy polenta chips, juicy tomatoes, and refreshing salad leaves for a delightful meal.
