👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1TO PREPARE YOUR MEAT
2. 2Watch my video link above for great tips on heating up a charcoal BBQ and how to know when it is just the right temperature for cooking.
3. 3Meat should be at room temperature for best results.
4. 4COOKING THE MEAT
5. 5Once the charcoal is at the perfect temperature, place the steak on top. Watch it close so it doesn’t burn but it’s OK if the flames envelope the steak as it is very thick and this will help the steak to cook through the middle.
6. 6Leave this to cook for around 5 minutes and then turn it. Leave the steak on this side for another 5 minutes.
7. 7Then, stand the t-bone upright on the charcoal so that the bone is holding it up and this will help to cook the meat all the way through. You should leave it like this for 7-10 minutes.
8. 8The time you cook for depends on how you like your meat served. Our recipe is medium rare.
9. 9THE SALAD
10. 10Mix the rocket salad, cannellini beans and cherry tomatoes into a salad bowl.
11. 11Get your small jar and mix the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, white wine vinegar with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, and a pinch of mixed herbs.
12. 12Squeeze half a lemon into the mix, so that the liquid falls through your hands and you catch the seeds before they drop in!
13. 13Put the lid on your jar tightly and shake the mix around!
14. 14Pour the salad dressing over the top of your ingredients and mix this together well using your hands (you can use tongs too but cooking is always more fun with your hands!).
