Cook's tips

  • Bringing the steak up to room temperature before cooking, and resting, are the two most important tips to cooking steak to perfection. Save those resting juices, too, they’re fantastic added to the dressing
  • Buying one large sharing steak rather than individual steaks looks a lot more impressive as you bring it to the table. The thicker cut will also ensure a pink meat and a crispy, charred outer edge
  • Make a double batch of this dressing and use to dress barbecued or griddled aubergines, courgettes and mushrooms. Use a vegetarian hard cheese if you need a vegetarian version. It works fantastically on bean salads and wild rice salads, too

How to store

Steak tagliata with black olive and parmesan dressing recipe

Ingredients

  • 500g dry-aged sirloin steak
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp oregano or thyme leaves, chopped
  • 75g black olives, pitted and finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp sherry vinegar
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 25g parmesan, shaved with a veg peeler
  • 2 large handfuls of rocket

Method

  • STEP 1

    Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4. Bring the meat to room temperature 30 mins before you want to cook. Season with salt and rub in the olive oil. Heat an ovenproof griddle pan to very hot and sear the steak fat for 2 mins, holding it with tongs, then 2-3 mins on each side until golden brown and charred. Transfer to the oven and cook for 6-8 mins for medium-rare or 10-12 mins for medium. Remove the meat to a platter to rest for 10 mins.

  • STEP 2

    Meanwhile, mix together the oregano, olives, vinegar, shallot, parsley, olive oil and some seasoning. Carefully fold in the parmesan, trying not to break it up too much.

  • STEP 3

    Cut the steak into 1cm-thick pieces against the grain. Stir the resting juices into the dressing. Put the rocket onto a platter and add the steak slices. Season with salt an spoon over the dressing to serve.
