Method

  1. Dry the steak with paper towels and sear it in a very hot dry pan, 3-4 minutes a side, until it reads 63°C (145°F). Rest 5 minutes.
  2. Chop the parsley and garlic finely and stir them into the oil, vinegar and pepper to make the chimichurri. Toss the bulgur with the halved tomatoes and a spoonful of the sauce.
  3. Pile the rocket into the bowls, slice the steak across the grain over it and spoon the rest of the chimichurri on top.
Chef’s tipChimichurri is chopped, never blended. A processor turns it to green slurry; a knife keeps the parsley and the oil separate on the plate.
KeepKeeps 3 days chilled, 2 months frozen in single portions. Warm in a covered pan over low heat with a spoon of water. Keep the herbs on top and fold them in at the last moment.
SwapNo steak? Pork tenderloin, seared and rested exactly the same way.
Pack itEat the steak cold rather than reheating it, and take the chimichurri apart.
