Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees c.
Step 2

Take 2 generous knobs of butter and place in pan to baste over the steak. Put the pan into the oven for 12-15 mins so as to cook it to medium rare. Once cooked, take the meat out and rest for aprox 10 mins then slice thickly.

Meanwhile in a separate frying pan, heat olive oil and add the diced onion and chillies. Fry over a medium heat for about 3-5 mins until they soften. Add all the tomatoes then season with salt and pepper. Cook for 6-8 mins until tomatoes start to soften. Use your wooden spoon or spatula to push the tomatoes down while mixing them.
Step 7
Add 2 tablespoons of sherry vinegar and stew this down for about 6-8 mins until reduced to a rough relish consistency.
Step 8
Add in basil and season well. Tip into a serving bowl and place aside.
