Instructions

- Cook the scotch fillet on a hot griddle pan or BBQ for approximately 4 minutes each side. The steak should be browned on the outside but with a soft, pink middle. Leave to rest for 3-5 minutes and serve with the warm salad.
Notes
When cooking steak on a BBQ the plate must be hot and the lid kept down. This helps the steak char and cook through at the same time creating a lovely caramelised surface and tender centre.
