Ingredients

FLATBREADS

  • 2 ¼ cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons sugar
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons yeast
  • 100ml warm water
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup yoghurt

PICKLED RED ONION

  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon peppercorns
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 red onion, halved, sliced

CHIMICHURRI

  • 1/3 cup parsley
  • 1/3 cup coriander
  • ¼ cup oregano
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Zest + juice 1 orange
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • Pinch chilli flakes

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 x 500g piece Flat Iron Steak
  • 1 cup shredded cos lettuce

Method:

Put the vinegar, water, sugar, peppercorns and salt into a small heavy-bottomed pot, bring to the boil then turn off the heat and stir to dissolve the sugar and salt. Put the red onion into a heat-proof bowl, pour over the pickling liquid, mix well then set aside.

Put the ingredients for the chimichurri into the jug of a stick blender and blend until smooth. Tip out into a serving jug and set aside.

Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan over a high heat. Once the oil is hot, add in the steak and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side before flipping and cooking for a further 4 minutes, or until done to your liking. Remove from the heat, loosely cover with tin foil for 10 minutes before slicing into strips.

Put the flat breads and cos lettuce onto a serving platter. Serve alongside the flat iron steak, pickled onions and chimichurri.
