INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Cook the Steak
- Season the beef fillet with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in an ovenproof pan, add butter, and sear the steak.
- Add the garlic and thyme to the pan. Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steak with the infused oil.
- Cook for a few minutes on the stovetop, then transfer the pan to the oven and roast at 8–10 minutes until desired doneness.
Step 2: Make the Tomato Relish
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan and add the chopped onion and chilies. Sauté until soft.
- Stir in the chopped tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Use a spatula to gently mash the tomatoes, cooking until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy (10–15 minutes).
- Finish with shredded basil and sherry vinegar. Stir well.
Step 3: Prepare the Mustard Mayonnaise:
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with whole-grain mustard until smooth.
Step 4: Toast the Ciabatta
- Drizzle ciabatta slices with olive oil, sprinkle with pepper, and toast on a grill pan until lightly charred.
Step 5: Assemble the Sandwich
- Spread the mustard mayonnaise on both ciabatta slices. Layer lettuce leaves on each slice.
- Place a slice of steak on one bread slice and spoon the tomato relish on top.
- Cover with the second slice of ciabatta, lettuce-side down.
