Elevate your dish with a homemade pesto sauce for a culinary masterpiece.
Ingredients:
  • 6 large vine-ripened tomatoes
  • 300g soft goat's cheese
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 82.50 ml finely chopped soft herbs (such as chives and parsley)
  • 75.08 gm olive oil
  • 100g good-quality pesto
  • 2 x 250g beef rib-eye steaks
  • Mache lettuce, to serve (see Notes)
Instructions:
  • Remove the tops of the tomatoes and set aside. Scoop out and discard the seeds and core. Invert the tomatoes to drain on a paper towel for 15 minutes.
  • Heat your oven to 180C.
  • Mix the cheese, garlic, herbs, and 2 tablespoons of oil and season the mixture. Spoon 1 teaspoon of pesto into each tomato, fill with the cheese mixture, and put the tops back on. Arrange the tomatoes on a baking tray, season them, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the tomatoes are slightly soft.
  • Heat up a chargrill pan on medium-high heat.
  • Season the steaks generously and then drizzle them with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Cook each side for 5-6 minutes until medium-rare, then let them rest, lightly covered with foil, for 5 minutes. Slice the steaks and top them off with mache for a finishing touch.
  • Garnish with fresh tomatoes and extra pesto before serving.
