Mini steaks with soft-poached egg on anchovy spinach

By Phillippa Cheifitz

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

Olive oil, for rubbing
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 slices beef fillet (about 100 g each)
A splash of red-wine vinegar
4 free-range eggs

For the spinach:

300 g spinach (or Swiss chard), trimmed androughly chopped
3 T olive oil
1-2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
5-6 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Oil and season the steaks and set aside. Bring a wide saucepan of water to a boil. Add a splash of vinegar, crack the eggs into the simmering water and turn off the heat. Cover tightly and leave for 3 minutes.
Remove using a slotted spoon. Drain well and trim the edges with scissors if necessary.
Meanwhile, in a frying pan over a high heat, quickly sear the steaks until browned but rare inside. Place over servings of spinach and top with an egg.

To prepare the spinach: Wash the spinach well and turn into a wide saucepan. Cover and wilt over a medium heat for a few minutes. Remove and drain. Wipe out the pan and add the oil, garlic and anchovies.
Cook over a gentle heat until fragrant and the anchovies start to disintegrate. Add the wilted spinach and mix well. Cook for a few minutes. Add seasoning to taste.
