Instructions
- To make ponzu sauce, combine the first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Allow to cool.
- Score steaks by slashing meat a couple of times with a sharp knife. Place in dish. Spoon 2 tablespoons ponzu sauce over steaks and turn over to coat.
- Spray oil on hot barbecue plate. Grill all vegetables for a few minutes until cooked, turning once. Set aside.
- Spray barbecue plate again with oil, add steaks and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove steaks and rest by covering with foil for 2 minutes. Grill bread and bring ponzu sauce back to the boil.
- Assemble a selection of vegetables for each plate with a grilled steak and bread slice on the side. Serve with a small bowl of dipping sauce.
