Prosciutto wrapped eye fillet

Treat yourself to this luxurious but very simple meal. The kids can help with wrapping the prosciutto and stabbing it into the eye fillet with a toothpick. Serve on a bed of creamy mashed potato.

Ingredients

  • 4 eye fillet steaks

    about 150g each

  • 4 slices prosciutto

  • 4 toothpicks

Equipment

  • 1 non-stick frypan
  • 1 toothpicks

Instructions

  1. Trim the fat and rind from the prosciutto. Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each steak. Depending on the thickness of your steak, you may have to fold the prosciutto in half. Use a toothpick to secure the end of the prosciutto.
  2. Heat a non-stick frypan over high heat and brown the sides of each steak (navigating around the toothpick) for about 2 minutes or until the prosciutto is crisp.
  3. Then cook the flat sides of the steaks for 3-4 minutes each side for medium (depending on thickness - mine were 2cm thick) or until cooked to your liking.
  4. Set aside to rest for a few minutes.
  5. Serve each steak on a big mound of creamy mash and pour any meat juices over the top.
