Grilled Fillet Steak and Leek

This is one of my favourite quick/cheap recipes to make from Jamie Oliver’s website. It’s a great winter dish. Beans always seem to equal winter — except for garbanzo beans — they’re all summer. I almost always forget the thyme (by accident), sub vermouth for white wine, and use a New Zealand sirloin cut from my local IGA in Penticton (great place to buy meat if you’re in Penticton. I usually cut the recipe in half (for two, or two meals) and use a cast iron pan for the steak. Fillet steak seems to be some fancy British way of saying boneless cut, so basically any steak will do!

On another note. I made the steak in the picture and snapped a shot with my iPhone under the stovetop light. It actually doesn’t look that bad!
