Steak slice with lemon and thyme

Recipe by Nigella Lawson from Nigella Express

Pin It

I love this with broccoli, particularly Tenderstem broccoli. A couple of packets, lightly cooked, then drained and put in the marinade after the beef's out and sliced, is the most heavenly accompaniment.

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 beef rump steak about 2.5cm/1in thick, weighing approx. 600g/1lb 4oz
80 ml extra virgin olive oil plus extra for brushing
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 cloves garlic lightly crushed
½ lemon juice and zest
1 teaspoon sea salt or 1/2 teaspoon table salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Method

Cut away the fat from around the edge of the steak while you heat a griddle or frying pan.
Brush the steak with oil and cook for three minutes on each side for rare meat. Turn the steak at an angle and cook for a further one minute on each side to give attractive griddle marks, or longer if you prefer your meat well-done; the lemon in the post-hoc marinade will 'cook' the steak a little more.
While the steak is cooking, place the thyme leaves, garlic, oil, lemon juice and zest, salt and pepper in a wide shallow dish and mix well.
Once the steak is cooked, place it in the dish of marinade for four minutes on each side, before removing it to a board and slicing thinly on the diagonal.
