4 tsp (20 ml) freshly ground black pepper
2 large cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
¼ tsp (2 ml) salt
2 tsp (10 ml) olive oil
4 rib-eye steaks
1 Tbsp (15 ml) balsamic vinegar

  1. Combine the pepper, garlic and salt in a bowl.  Sprinkle the oil over both sides of the meat and rub the seasoning mixture into the steak.
  2. Heat a griddle pan until very hot and grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-done.  Drizzle with vinegar and serve with potato chips or wedges.

Serves 4

Tip
The pepper plant is a climbing vine.  It’s fruit ripens from green to red and finally to brown.  Black pepper is dried, unripened pepper.  It quickly loses flavour and aroma when ground, so for the best results, use a pepper mill and only grind when required.
