Harissa spiced Porterhouse steak with chargrilled zucchini

Method

  • In a large snap-lock bag place half the oil, Harissa paste and thyme. Add steaks, season well and rub to coat. Heat a large char-grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook steaks for 3-4 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking. Set steaks aside on a plate loosely covered with foil to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place zucchini and remaining oil in a large bowl. Season and toss to coat. Reheat same pan over medium high heat and cook zucchini for 6-7 minutes or until charred and tender. Remove from pan, return to large bowl, add lemon zest and juice and toss to coat. Top zucchini with ricotta, almonds and mint leaves.
  • Serve steaks with zucchini, potatoes, extra thyme and lemon wedges.

Notes

TIPS:
Try swapping potato for sweet potato, zucchini for Brussels sprouts or eggplant and a smokey BBQ rub instead of Harissa to mix it up.
