garlic and pepper fillet with rocket.

get yourself some great beef fillet slice to an inch and a half thick then bash with a kitchen mallet coarse side down till about 1cm thick this will help keep steaks tender for a very quick cook must be pink in the middle of a very thin steak heat a griddle pan non stick if you have one sprinkle steaks with a little olive oil and rub in well crack some pepper over both sides and grate a clove of garlic and rub this paste well into steaks make sure steaks are at room temp place steaks in hot griddle and sear quickly for about 30 seconds each side turn steak over 4 times to get a nice griddle pattern on fillets

remove to warm plate serve with a simple rocket salad with olive oil white wine vinegar (to your taste) and a touch of pepper to bring out the peppery taste of the rocket you can add some spinach or watercress to the rocket

season steaks with salt to taste and enjoy this is a wonderfully easy dish.

bon apetite!
