Soured Grilled Leeks with Scotch Fillets
Recipe by Michael Weldon
Ingredients
8 medium size leeks, washed and root left on
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbs sugar
1tbs sea salt
2 scotch fillet steaks, brought up to room temperature for cooking
sea salt
extra virgin olive oil
hot english mustard, for serving
Method
Heat a BBQ or Griddle until smoking. Add the leeks and cook, charring the skin until they are blackened all over. Remove from heat and allow to sit for a minute. Then peel the burnt layer of leek away and discard. Place the leek onto a tray.
In a small saucepan heat the vinegar, sugar and salt. Once hot, remove from the heat and add the extra virgin olive oil. Mix together then pour over the leeks and leave to soak up the dressing.
Season the steak with salt then drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Place on the smoking hot BBQ or Griddle. Cook the steak to your liking then remove and rest for half the time it cooked for.
Carve the steak and season with a little extra salt. Serve half a steak per person with a couple of leeks on the side and a spoon of mustard.
