Ingredients

Method
  • Olive oil
  • Sea salt and milled black pepper
  • For the anchovy-garlic oil:

  • 6-8 thin anchovy fillets, chopped
  • 1 crushed fat clove garlic
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • For serving:

  • Wilted spinach leaves
  • 2 rib-eye steaks, about 250g each

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Oil the steaks and season. Heat a suitable frying pan on the hob. When really hot, add the steaks and sear on both sides then bake in the heated oven for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile gently heat the anchovies, garlic and oil, stirring until disintegrated. Place wet, washed, spinach leaves in a large saucepan. Turn on the heat and cook for a few minutes until wilted.

Drain and add a squeeze of lemon. Place a tangle of leaves on 2 hot plates.

Top with the steaks and spoon over the oil.
