  • 1 red chili, without seeds and chopped

Steak

Give the meat a good sprinkle of salt, freshly ground black pepper, and braai spice according to your fancy.

Put a bit of that fancy oil onto a griddle pan and heat it up nice and hot. Pop the steak onto the pan and let it sizzle until it’s just the way you like it, around 4 – 6 minutes on each side for a bit of pink or 7 – 8 minutes for well-cooked. 

Take it off the heat and give it a breather, about 5 – 10 minutes will do.

Tomato Salsa

Chuck the mielie onto the still-warm griddle pan and give it a twirl every now and then until it’s a little bit charred, around 10 minutes should do it. Take it off the heat. Use a sharp knife to cut the mielie up. Keep the juicy kernels and bid farewell to the cob.

In a medium-sized bowl, mix the saved kernels with the rest of the salsa ingredients and give it a good stir until it’s all well jolled together.

Serve up the sizzling steak with the tomato salsa on the side. Enjoy, mate!
