RECIPE FROM SPAIN:

Beef with Sage and Tomatoes

A lovely dish with great flavours ideal for cooking on the BBQ. Serve with boiled new potatoes and salad for a lunchtime treat.

You will need:

4 small fillets or beef steaks
6 tablespoons of olive oil
100ml balsamic vinegar
350 g cherry tomatoes
20 fresh sage leaves
2 cloves garlic
Salt and pepper

Method

• Rub the beef with oil and season both sides.

• Over a low heat cook the vinegar until it has reduced and brush the beef a little vinegar again on both sides.

• Brush the cherry tomatoes with oil and grill or barbecue until the skin goes a little black and peels slightly. Grill or barbecue the beef at the same time until nicely golden on both sides and cooked to your own preference.

• While the beef and tomatoes are cooking, peel and crush the garlic and add to the reduced balsamic vinegar, add the sage leaves to the pan and return to a low heat, cooking just long enough to warm through.

• Serve the beef fillets with the cherry tomatoes and a drizzle of the sage and garlic vinegar sauce.
