Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 160 g 4x sirloin steaks
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil or good-quality animal fat
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Dressing

  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove finely grated
  • 1 tsp rosemary leaves finely chopped

Instructions

  • Heat a barbecue grill plate to hot or a large chargrill pan over high heat.
