Cooking Method

  1. Set up your grill for direct cooking at 230C. 
  2. Prepare the steak by rubbing olive oil on both sides and seasoning with salt and pepper.  
  3. Place the steak directly over the heat source and allow to grill for approximately 3 minutes per side until the fat has rendered and it is sizzling. 
  4. Remove the steak from the grill and leave to rest. Whilst the steak is resting, slice the ciabatta sub in half and spread a good helping of the garlic and herb butter on the fleshy part of the bread.  
  5. Lightly grill the butter side over direct heat until toasted, approximately 2 minutes then remove from the heat. 
  6. Slice the steak against the grain of the meat into thin slices. 
  7. Assemble your ciabatta sub by adding slices of steak, spoon on chimichurri and garnish with red onion.  
  8. Close your sub and enjoy
