Ingredients
  

  • 350 g beef sizzler steaks (thin steaks)
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 small garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 4 brioche buns
  • mayonnaise
  • lettuce, shredded
  • tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • Red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic and rosemary. Add the thin steaks and mix together to ensure all the steak is covered in the marinade. Cover with cling film and marinade in the fridge for at least 30mins.
  • Heat a non-stick pan or george foreman and cook the steaks for 1-2 mins on each side (depending on how you like your steak, but not too long otherwise they will be very chewy) and then set aside and cover with foil for a few mins to rest.
  • In the mean time, heat your buns under a grill until lightly toasted.
  • Slice the steak into strips and place on the buns, add salad and mayonnaise and serve immediately alongside some chips, wedges or onion rings.
