Method

  1. For the sauce, place the garlic, parsley, coriander, oregano and chilli flakes in a mini food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Add 125ml olive oil and the red wine vinegar and pulse until combined. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Preheat the grill to medium. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the steaks for 1 min on each side. Set aside to rest.
  3. Lightly toast the cut side of the rolls under the grill for 30 seconds to 1 min (or toast both sides of the slices of bloomer) until golden. Spread with the sauce and fill with the roasted peppers, tomato slices, rocket and steak, then drizzle with a little extra sauce, top with toasted bread and serve.
