Barbecued Steak and Vegetables

Serves: 4

Ingredients

Blue Triangle olive oil cooking spray
2 red capsicum, quartered lengthways
3 zucchini, quartered lengthways
400g orange sweet potato, peeled, thinly sliced
4 eye fillet steaks
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3 teaspoons olive oil
1⅓ cup basil leaves, shredded

Method

Preheat a barbecue grill on high heat. Lightly spray capsicum, zucchini and sweet potato with oil.
Cook capsicum, skin side down, on grill for 15 minutes or until charred. At the same time, cook zucchini and sweet potato for 7 minutes. Turn and cook for 7 to 8 minutes or until golden and tender. Place capsicum in a snap-lock bag. Seal bag and stand for 5 minutes. Peel and discard charred skin. Cut capsicum flesh into strips. Set vegetables aside on a plate. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
Spray both sides of steaks with oil. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Cook for 3 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Place on a plate. Cover with foil and stand for 5 minutes. Combine vinegar, oil and salt and pepper in a jug.
Slice steak across the grain. Place vegetables on plates. Top with steak. Sprinkle with basil and drizzle with oil mixture. Serve.

Tips

Always rest beef after cooking. This gives the meat juices a chance to redistribute, giving a more moist and tender result

Best beef steaks for barbecuing: fillet/tenderloin, rib eye/scotch fillet, sirloin/porterhouse/New York, T-bone, rump, round, blade, and oyster blade.

Ensure the barbecue is hot before you cook. Make it hot enough to sizzle the steaks as they make contact with the plate or grill.

The quality and ‘value’ of meat should not be measured by how heavy a feedlot can grow their beef. Rather, we look after our animals from when they are born to when they are sent to Greenham – we try to give them a quality of life all the way through – and that’s why we end up with a really good product.
