Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 2lbs medium sized Roma Tomatoes
  • 1 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Tbsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 Tbsp freshly ground Black Pepper
  • 2 cups Unsalted Chicken Stock
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

  6. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, cover, and let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes to break down the tomatoes.
  7. When the tomatoes are soft and breaking down, use an immersion blender to liquefy the mixture.  You can also use a blender if you divide it into batches.
  8. When the mixture is almost totally liquid, add the Cream and Salt and Pepper to taste.
  9. Stir over low heat for 5 minutes and serve.  Ideal with a grilled cheese sandwich.

Grilled Sirloin Steak with Roasted Tomatoes on Cobb BBQ

Serves 2

Ingredients:

  • 2 thick cut, well-aged Sirloin Steaks
  • 1 punnet Cherry Tomatoes (on the vine if you can get them)
  • 1 bunch of Thyme
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Olive oil

Directions:

 

  1. Light a cobblestone and wait a few minutes until it has turned grey.
  2. Place the grill attachment onto the Cobb and close the lid to let it heat up for at least 5 minutes – you want it nice and hot to get those lovely grill lines.
  3. Season the steaks well with salt and pepper and rub with a little olive oil – do the same for the tomatoes.
  4. Place the steaks on the hot grill, leaving a little space between them, but also room to place the tomatoes around the sides.
  5. Place the sprigs of thyme around the steaks and the tomatoes over these and close the lid.
  6. Let them cook for 3-5 minutes and then turn both the steaks and the tomatoes. This timing will depend on the thickness of your steak.
  7. Place the steaks onto a board and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  8. Slice and serve alongside the tomatoes with a good crack of black pepper, extra salt on the side and garnish with fresh thyme.
  9. This can be a snack for a larger crowd, starters for 4 or a main for 2.
