Flat Iron Steaks with Olive Tapenade

Beef flat iron steaks are cooked with fresh rosemary or thyme leaves and served with a delicious olive tapenade made with olives, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice and sun-dried tomatoes.  Perfect cooked on the BBQ or under the grill.

METHOD

To prepare the tapenade; place the olives, garlic, anchovy, capers, thyme and tomatoes and lemon juice in a processor or blender and process for 1-2 minutes to form a rough paste.

Place the steaks on a chopping board, season and sprinkle with the herbs on and oil on both sides.

Cook on the steaks on a prepared barbecue or under a preheated moderate grill according to your preference (Rare -2 minutes on each side, Medium Rare - 3-4 minutes on each side, Medium - 5-7 minutes on each side). Cover with foil and leave to rest for 5-10 minutes.

Serve the steaks with the tapenade and chunky chips.
