Beef fillet, aubergine, tomato and haloumi stack

By Ian Bergh – Serves: 4
Total Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 aubergines, sliced into 8 rounds
  • 4 tomatoes, sliced into 8 rounds
  • 2,5ml (½ tsp) olive oil
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 x 150g beef fillet portions
  • 100g haloumi, sliced into 12 strips
  • 45ml (3 tbsp) cake flour
  • 60ml (¼ cup) ready-made basil pesto
  • baby leaves, for garnish

Instructions

1

Brush the aubergine and tomato slices with a little of the oil. Heat a griddle pan to smoking hot and char-grill the aubergine and tomato in batches for about 2 minutes on each side. Season and set aside to keep warm.

2

In the same pan, grill the fillet portions for 2 minutes on each side (for medium-rare). Remove from the heat and leave to rest in a warm spot for about 5 minutes.

3

Dust the haloumi in the flour and gently pan-fry in the remaining oil until golden brown, about 2 minutes.

4

To serve, place a portion of fillet on each plate. Top with tomato, aubergine, and haloumi. Spoon over the pesto and garnish with baby leaves.
