Hanger steak with chimichurri and yoghurt flatbread

Hanger steak with chimichurri and yoghurt flatbread

Serves 4



1   hanger steak (about 1.1kg), halved lengthways
70 ml   olive oil
1   butter lettuce, cut into thin wedges
Chimichurri
1 cup (firmly packed)   flat-leaf parsley
125 ml (½ cup)   olive oil
125 ml (½ cup)   red wine vinegar
¼ cup (loosely packed)   coriander
3   garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp   dried chilli flakes
Yoghurt flatbread dough
300 gm (2 cups)   plain flour
7 gm (1 sachet)   dried yeast
2 tbsp   thick Greek-style yoghurt, at room temperature
1 tbsp   olive oil


1 For yoghurt flatbread dough, place flour in a large bowl, make a well in the centre and set aside. Combine yeast and 150ml warm water in a jug, add a pinch of flour and set aside until beginning to foam (2-3 minutes). Slowly incorporate into flour, add yoghurt and oil, knead until smooth (3-4 minutes), place in a lightly oiled bowl and set aside, covered with a tea towel, until required.
2 Preheat a char-grill over medium heat, drizzle steak with 30ml oil, season to taste and grill, turning occasionally, until cooked to your liking (10-15 minutes for rare). Set aside, loosely covered with foil, to keep warm and rest, then slice just before serving.
3 Meanwhile, for chimichurri, pulse ingredients in a food processor until a coarse paste forms, season to taste. Makes about 250ml.
4 Divide flatbread dough into four, roll each piece into a rough 20cm-diameter round and set aside. Heat a large frying pan over high heat, add one quarter of the remaining oil and cook flatbread in batches, turning once, until golden and cooked through (1-2 minutes). Repeat with remaining oil and flatbread dough, season to taste and serve warm with hanger steak, chimichurri and butter lettuce wedges.
