Serves/Makes:4

Ingredients

• 4 rump or sirloin steaks
• black or fresh green whole peppers,to taste
• Marinade :
• 2 tbsp (30 ml). olive oil
• 2 tbsp (30 ml). wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar or red wine
• 1 or more cloves garlic, to taste
• 1 tsp (5 ml). herbs, fresh or dried (I like rosemary but mixed are fine)
• chopped onion (optional)
• seasoning

Preparation

• Mix all ingredients for marinade.
• Trim any excess fat from steaks.
• Place steaks in a dish large enough to hold all four steaks on one layer.
• Pour over marinade and leave for at least 1 hour (longer is better) in refridgerator.
• Heat grill and place steaks on rack, and grill for about five minutes on each side. (Longer if you like it well done).
• Add peppercorns as the steak is turned. (If you like it very peppery, put some on the first side as well - my family love it like this).

Comments

I sometimes use a pinch each of cinnamon and nutmeg instead of the herbs to give a different dish.

More olive oil may be added (or less vinegar) but I can't cope with too much oil.

Quick tip: Add 1 t. English mustard to the marinade instead of the garlic. It gives a milder flavour.

Good cooked on the BBQ as well!

You can cut the onion into rings and grill with the steak.
