Ingredients:
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 40.00 ml oregano leaves
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 lemon, zested, juiced plus 2 extra lemons, to serve
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 (about 200g each) beef sirloin steaks
  • 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
  • 4 anchovy fillets
  • 400g can diced tomatoes
  • 8 kalamata olives, pitted, cut into quarters
  • 20.00 ml salted capers, washed
  • Mashed potato, to serve
Instructions:
  • Combine thyme, cumin seeds, oregano, 2 garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon sea salt in a mortar and pestle and crush until well blended. Mix in half of the lemon zest and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Flatten steaks with a rolling pin and massage with the marinade. Let it marinate for 20 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the remaining oil. Crush the rest of the garlic and combine with chili and anchovies in the oil. Sauté for 1 minute over medium heat, mashing the anchovies. Stir in the tomatoes, remaining zest, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Simmer on low for 5-6 minutes. Finally, add the olives and capers, then simmer for 2 more minutes.
  • Preheat a chargrill pan on high heat. Add the steaks and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. Cut the extra lemons in half and chargrill them until lightly charred. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes while you warm up the sauce. Serve the steaks with puttanesca sauce, mashed potatoes, and the chargrilled lemon halves.
