Grilled Steak With Tomato Relish

Ingredients

4 T-bone steaks, about 225-325g each in weight
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
8 Medium plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Large onion, finely choppped
1 Clove garlic, finley chopped
3 Tbsp fresh basil, shredded

Method

1. Season steaks well and arrange on the cooking grate directly over the heat. Brush the tomatoes lightly with a little of the oil and arrange, cut side up, around the steaks. Barbecue over Direct Medium heat for 6–8 minutes, turning once until tomatoes are softened. Remove tomatoes from the grill and set aside. Turn the steaks and continue grilling for another 6–8 minutes for medium, 8–11 minutes for well done.
2. Put remaining oil, onion and garlic in a small ovenproof frying pan. Set the frying pan on the side burner and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring the onion mixture occasionally, until onions and garlic have softened and tinged with brown. If your barbecue does not have a side burner, you can place the saucepan directly on the cooking grate, being careful to keep the handle away from the heat.
3. Roughly chop the tomatoes and stir into the onion with the basil and season to taste. Remove steaks from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes then divide steaks between serving plates. Stir any residue meat juices into tomato relish and serve with steaks.
