Oyster steak caught your eye? It’s not a surf-and-turf take on the Portuguese classic, but rather a little gem of a meat cut, packed with flavour and potential. In the Chalmar Farm Kitchen, we enjoy bringing the familiar and lesser-known together for a new experience.
Oyster steak 101: It’s a roundish muscle with stripes of fat running along it, looking like an oyster shell. It also goes by the name spider steak for its distinctive web-like fatty streaks. It’s this natural marbling that gives this prized cut its juiciness and moreish flavour.

Ingredients
- What you'll need:
- For the Peri-Peri sauce:
- 30ml Avocado oil or olive oil
- 125ml White wine vinegar
- 2 Garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 Red chillies, finely chopped (for extra heat, up the chilli)
- 2 Tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 5ml Paprika
- 10ml Sugar
- Salt and pepper
- For the caramelized onions:
- 30ml Butter
- 30ml Avocado oil or olive oil
- 2 Red onions, thinly sliced
- Pinch of salt
- For the Prego Rolls:
- 30ml Avocado or olive oil
- 4 CHALMAR BEEF OYSTER STEAKS or RUMP PREGO STEAK
- Sea salt flakes and pepper
- 4 Portuguese rolls cut into half and toasted
- Rocket leaves
Instructions
- Method:
- To Make the Sauce:
- Heat the oil, vinegar, garlic and chilli in a saucepan over high heat. Add the tomatoes, paprika, and sugar, turn heat down to medium and cook for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat and using a blender, puree roughly.
- To Make the Onions:
- Heat butter and oil in a pan over medium heat, add the onions and salt. Let it cook slowly until the onions are soft and browned.
- To Make the Prego Rolls
- Rub the oyster steaks with oil and season well with salt and pepper.
- Heat a griddle pan over high heat. Sear the steaks on both sides till browned, no more than 2 minutes on a side. Don’t overcook to prevent it going chewy, leave it to rest, season again and transfer the steak to each Portuguese roll, top with caramelized onions, peri-peri sauce, and rocket.
Notes
Anja’s Advice:
- Season the steak well with sea salt just before cooking, as the salt reduces the smoke and adds to the crusty layer as it sears.
- Don’t crowd the pan, as the steaks will start stewing when it’s too close together.
- For variation, try this tasty jewel of a steak with a dollop of Dijon mustard blended with some horseradish.
