Ingredients

200g fillet steak , excess fat trimmed
4 Baby Gem lettuces
½ tbsp cold pressed rapeseed oil
1 tbsp chopped parsley
½ tbsp cold pressed rapeseed oil
1 small garlic clove , crushed
1 tsp red wine vinegar
pinch of dried oregano
¼ red chilli , finely chopped
1 lime , zested and juiced
½ tsp fish sauce
1 tsp groundnut oil
pinch of sugar

Steps:

Take the steak out of the fridge 30 mins ahead of frying it. Mix the chimichurri ingredients with 1 tbsp water, season and set aside. Mix the ingredients for the chilli & lime sauce and set aside. Separate the Baby Gem lettuces so you have 20 leaves ('cups').
Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Coat the steak in the oil, season, then fry for 2-3 mins on each side. Set aside for 10 mins, then cut into 20 slices. Place a steak strip on each cup. To serve, top half with the chimichurri and half with the chilli & lime sauce.
