Instructions
- Using your kitchen mallet tenderise the beef slices and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a frypan and once it is hot add the onion and garlic, stir and let it caramelise and soften.
- Add the capsicums, eggplant, salt and pepper. Stir to coat in the oil then cover. Stir occasionally and let it sweat and soften for about 20-30 minutes on a low heat.
- Remove the peperonata once cooked and soft, keep warm.
- Heat the pan with extra olive oil (if needed) until hot. Add the basil leaves and let them sizzle and become transparent. Remove and add them to the peperonata.
- Do the same with the parsley until they crisp then remove and add them to the peperonata. Stir and taste for seasoning, keep warm.
- Heat a grill pan or fry pan and brush the beef slices with oil.
- Season the beef slices and once pan is hot sear the beef slices quite quickly on both sides. Do not over cook them.
- To serve, spoon a good amount of the peperonata onto one half of the beef slice and fold it over.
