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:

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

Caramelized onions
30ml Butter
30ml Avocado oil or olive oil
2 Red onions, thinly sliced
Pinch of salt

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

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.
