Step 2
Heat a non-stick griddle pan until hot. Add the pork and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through and the juices run clear. Alternatively, cook on a prepared BBQ.
Step 3
Meanwhile, heat a non-stick griddle pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the courgette, red pepper and onions to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until tender. Alternatively, place the pan on a prepared BBQ and cook over direct heat.
Step 4
To make the Salsa Verde, whizz all the ingredients together in a food processor to make a paste. Season.
Step 5
Transfer the steaks to warm plates and add the Mediterranean vegetables. Drizzle some salsa verde over each steak. Spoon any remaining salsa verde in a small bowl.
Step 6
Serve with crusty ciabatta bread.
Tips and Serving Suggestions
If you prefer a ‘looser’ version of the salsa verde then add a couple of tablespoons of water before blending.
Alternatively, cook directly on a prepared BBQ.
