Method

  1. 1

    Season the steak generously with the garlic and coarse salt, and rest at room temperature while a pan heats.

  2. 2

    Sear the steak for 3–4 minutes each side for medium, then rest for 5 minutes and slice.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small pan and fry the onion until soft.

  4. 4

    Stir in the cassava flour and toast for 3–4 minutes until golden and crumbly, seasoning to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve the sliced steak with the farofa, scattered with spring onion and any pan juices.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 7 spring onions. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
