Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 x 250g/9oz bavette or flank steak
1 tbsp sunflower oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
2-3 garlic cloves
thumb-sized piece ginger , grated
juice ½ lemon , reserve lemon half
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp honey
1 rosemary sprig, bruised

Steps:

For the marinade, mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Place the steaks in a shallow dish, pour marinade over to coat the meat completely. Cover, chill and leave to marinate overnight.
Scrape the marinade off the steaks and rub each steak with a drop of sunflower oil. Heat a griddle pan until very hot, then rub the steaks with the reserved lemon half and cook with the rosemary sprig for 3-4 mins each side for medium-rare, 1 min longer if you prefer it cooked more. Rest for 5 mins before serving with mash or chips.
