Method
Ingredients
Pound the steaks between sheets of baking paper to flatten. Cut each steak in half, then season to taste. Place in a dish and spoon over the marinade.
Leave for half an hour, then remove from the marinade and quickly sear the steaks on both sides in a hot nonstick pan. Pour in the marinade and bring to a bubble. Split the rolls and moisten the cut sides with the marinade, then top with a piece of steak and sandwich together.
Butter the outside of the rolls, then place in another nonstick pan, cover with baking paper and top with a heavy pan or pot. Over a gentle heat, slowly brown and crisp one side then flip and do the same on the other side.
Serve immediately with watercress and crisps.
Cook’s note: Use the same recipe with chicken fillets and serve with rocket and French fries.
