Serves 4. Preparation time 20 minutes.
250 g fillet steak, trimmed and chilled
6 small gherkins
2 spring onions, white parts only
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 small red chilli, deseeded and chopped
1 teaspoon chopped mint
1 teaspoon chopped parsley
1 lime or lemon
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
3 tablespoons olive oil (the good stuff)
pinch of sea salt flakes
• Make sure all the sinew is removed from the meat, then chop it with a sharp knife. Finely chop the gherkins and spring onions.
• Toast the coriander and black pepper in a hot, dry pan until fragrant. Transfer to a chopping board and squash and grind with the flat part of a big knife.
• Add only a pinch of the chilli and about 3/4 of the rest of the ingredients to the meat. Chop it all together until the meat is minced. (Don't overdo it, otherwise it will be more like a pate.)
• Taste and season with the rest of the ingredients if preferred. Served immediately with slices of toast.
