Easy, delicious Moorish style barbeque. You can use any cut of beef for this recipe but we love the bavette’s texture and flavour. It’s economical too. Charring the greens adds a surprisingly delicious flavour.
Beef and marinade
500g beef bavette
100ml grape or pomegranate molasses, or grape must
2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp chilli flakes
2 garlic cloves finely chopped
½ chilli finely chopped
100ml extra virgin olive oil
sea salt, black epper and extra virgin olive oil
Greens
2 handfuls seasonal greens- such as kale or chard
lemon for juice
Firstly place the bavette in a bowl, add all the marinade ingredients and season well. Leave to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Set a bbq to maximum heat for direct cooking, alternatively set a griddle up on high heat.
Drain the beef marinade and then cook the beef directly on the grill- 4 minutes each side for medium, an extra couple of minutes for medium well. rest for 5 minutes and retain the juices.
Season the greens, drizzle with oil and throw onto the bbq or griddle. Cook quickly until they wilt and lightly char. Remove to a bowl and squeeze over a little lemon juice.
Serve the bavette, sliced with the greens and the resting juices poured over.
Serve with some crispy oven roasted new potatoes with olive oil and vinegar.
