Ingredients
- 2 x 150g scotch fillet steak, approx. 1.5cm thick
- 2 teaspoons crushed black peppercorns
- 2 servings of Fresh Baby Potatoes
- 2 servings of Fresh Broccoli
- 2 servings of Fresh Carrots
- 2 servings of Fresh Peas
Method
- Bring the steak to room temperature. Brush with a little oil. Sprinkle the crushed peppercorns on both sides of the steak, gently pressing the peppercorns onto the surface of the meat so they stick.

- Serve with Fresh Baby Potatoes, broccoli, carrots and peas.
