Ingredients
  

Jalapeno Aioli
  • 1/2 cup sugar free whole egg mayonnaise you can also make your own mayonnaise using our recipe
  • 1 clove garlic peeled & crushed
  • 1/2 tsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp coriander freshly chopped
  • 10-20 grams fresh jalapeno peppers to taste, ribs and seeds removed
  • 1 tsp rock salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
Beef Eye Fillet Steaks
  • 400 grams eye fillet steaks
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt flakes

Method
 

Jalapeno Aioli
  1. Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth
  2. Keep tasting to see if it needs more lime juice, or salt.
  3. Refrigerate in an airtight container.
Beef Eye Fillet
  1. Have the fillet steaks at room temperature and blot dry with kitchen paper.
  2. Brush them with a little olive oil and season with sea salt flakes. This gives the steaks a lovely seasoned crust.
  3. Preheat a pan to hot before putting the steaks in! Don’t be tempted to put them in too early - they won’t get a lovely brown crust if you do.
  4. When the steaks hit the pan, reduce the heat to medium.
  5. Cook the steaks on one side until moisture begins to bead on top, then turn and cook the other side. Turn the steaks once only.
  6. It’s important to let the steaks rest after cooking. Place them on a clean plate and cover loosely with foil for 2-3 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve with a dollop of Jalapeno Aioli and a side of freshly grilled asparagus, or green beans & toasted almonds – depending on the season.
