METHOD

1. To make the grilled pepper butter, add 3 sliced grilled peppers from the jar to a food processor along with the butter, basil, smoked paprika, salt and pepper and blitz to combine. Spread the butter on to a sheet of cling film and roll tightly to create a cylinder shape. Place in the fridge to chill until needed.
2. Remove the packaging from your Steaks and allow the steaks to breathe at room temperature for a minimum of 10-15 minutes before cooking.
3. Drizzle a little olive oil over the steaks and season with sea salt and black pepper just before cooking.
4. Preheat a heavy-based pan over a high heat. Sear the steaks on both sides, reduce the heat to medium and cook for time indicated below depending on your preference:
   
   RARE: 2 - 4 minutes each side
   MEDIUM: 4 - 5 minutes each side
   WELL DONE: 5 - 6 minutes each side
   
   
5. Add the garlic, thyme and a knob of butter to the pan close to the end of the cooking time and allow to foam a little. Use this to baste the steaks.
6. Transfer the steaks to a plate and leave to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
7. To cook the prawns, preheat a tablespoon of the roast garlic oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Place the prawns and a knob of butter in the pan and season well. Cook gently for 4-5 minutes until cooked through.
8. To serve, top the steaks with the grilled pepper butter and serve on warmed plates with the prawns, mash potatoes and steamed greens.
