Caribbean Jerk Style Steak

Prep Time: 15 Minutes

Cook Time: 5 - 12 Minutes

For Rare: 2 & 1/2 mins each side

For Medium: 4 mins each side

For Well Done: 6 mins each side

Ingredients

• 4 Rump, Sirloin or Minute Steaks

For the Marinade:

• 2 Green chillies, deseeded and roughly chopped
• 2 Spring onions, roughly chopped
• 2 Garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
• 1 tsp Ground all spice
• 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tbsp Dark rum
• 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp Caster sugar
• 2 tbsp Light soy sauce

Method

• Place the marinade ingredients into a food processor or blender and whizz together to form a smooth paste.
• Spoon the marinade into a shallow dish and coat the steaks on both sides.  Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least an hour, or overnight for extra flavour.
• Cook the steaks according to your preference, on a prepared BBQ or pre-heated grill.  Remember to reduce the cooking time if using minute steaks as these will cook quicker that the thicker rumps and sirloins.
• Serve the steaks with a pasta salad and crusty bread.
