  • Completed step 4 beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes, each about 225 grams
  • Completed step 3 small garlic cloves, divided
  • Completed step Kosher salt
  • Completed step Freshly ground black pepper
  • Completed step ½ teaspoon ancho chile powder
  • Completed step 1 hanger steak, about 680 grams, centre tendon removed (this will create 2 steak pieces), patted dry
  • Completed step Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Completed step 25 grams tightly packed fresh basil leaves
  • Completed step 25 grams finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano® cheese
  • Completed step 105 grams panko bread crumbs
  • Completed step 35 grams pine nuts, lightly toasted in a dry skillet

Instructions

  • Cut a 1 centimetre slice off the top of each tomato. With a small knife cut around the inside of the fleshy part of the tomato (do not cut through the bottom of the tomato) to within 1 centimetre of the skin. With a teaspoon, scoop out the tomato flesh, leaving about 1 centimetre of flesh attached to the skin. Discard the juice and seeds to make room for the stuffing. Turn the tomatoes, cut-side down, on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  • Mince two of the garlic cloves. Then mix with 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of pepper and the chile powder. Lightly brush the steaks on both sides with oil and season with the spices. Allow the steaks to stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (180°C to 230°C).
  • In a food processor chop the remaining garlic clove. Then add the basil and a pinch of salt; process until the basil is finely chopped. With the processor running, gradually add oil, stopping to scrape the inside of the bowl once or twice. Pulse in the cheese. Add the panko and pulse until thoroughly combined. Add the pine nuts and pulse a few times to combine and chop the nuts coarsely; season with salt. Lightly season the tomato cavities with salt and pepper and then spoon in the bread crumb mixture, packing it down to fit in as much as possible and mounding additional crumbs on top (you will not need all of it).
  • Grill the steaks over direct medium heat, with the lid closed, until cooked to your desired doneness, 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare (depending on the thickness of the steak), turning once or twice. At the same time, grill the tomatoes over direct medium heat until softened and the topping is slightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the grill and let the steaks rest for 3 to 5 minutes.

  • Cut the steaks into thin slices and serve warm with the tomatoes.
  • Note: If you can’t find hanger steak, substitute with skirt steak or flat iron steak.
