Barbecued Balsamic Beef Recipe

Barbecued Balsamic Beef 
I'm lucky enough to have a weekly farmer's market. The quality of ingredients certainly makes a big difference to the texture and flavour of any recipe, especially when the focus of the meal is a big chunk of meat. Take care not to over cook and make sure you allow the beef to rest.

Takes 30mins, plus marinating.
Serves 4

Barbecued Balsamic Beef Ingredients:

600g rump steak
2 shallots, finely chopped
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
500g new potatoes
250g spinach
2 tbsp olive oil

Barbecued Balsamic Beef Method:

1. Put beef in a wide shallow dish and rub it over with shallots and balsamic vinegar.
2. Slice the potatoes and cook in coiling water for 12-15mins. Add spinach and cover pan for a few mins. 
3. Drain well, toss in 2 tbsp oil. Keep warm.
4. Grill beef for 3-4mins on each side. Remove and cover with foil for 5 mins. 
5. Uncover and slice thinly across the grain. 
6. Serve piled on top of potatoes and spinach, sprinkle a little oil and vinegar on top.
