Portuguese prego with green piri-piri Recipe

Rub the 1 clove garlic all over the beef fillets. Transfer the steaks to a sandwich bag, then add the 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar, and parsley stalks.

Smoosh everything around to coat the beef, then use a rolling pin to bash the steaks a few times, just to tenderize them slightly. Let them marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours.

Heat a griddle or frying pan over high heat until it's smoking hot. Brush off any garlic or parsley stalks clinging to the marinated steaks, then season them generously with salt and pepper.

Sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side, aiming for a nice crust. Transfer the seared steaks to a plate to rest. Place the ciabatta halves cut-side down onto the same plate to soak up any of the steak juices while the meat rests.
