Ingredients:

• Two handfuls of fresh coriander
• Three sprigs of fresh origanum
• Two cloves of garlic
• Three tablespoons of red wine vinegar
• Four tablespoons of avocado oil
• Two teaspoons of dried chilli flakes
• Half a cup of water
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Three avocados, peeled and pips removed
• Two large T-bone steaks
• Juice of two lemons
• Three tablespoons of olive oil

Method:

• Place coriander, origanum, garlic, vinegar, avocado oil and chilli flakes in food processor and pulse at high speed until a green sauce forms.
• While processor is running, gradually pour in water. Season well with salt and pepper.
• Cut avocados into small cubes and place in salad bowl. Pour sauce over and mix through. Set aside.
• To cook the steaks: heat a griddle pan until it is literally smoking hot.
• Sprinkle lemon juice and olive oil over steaks. Season with salt and pepper.
