Smoked Gammon Steak with Jerk Butter
Smoked gammon steak, grilled to perfection.
Topped with lashings of spicy jerk infused butter. A succulent taste sensation. Serves 2.
Ingredients:
2 Smoked Gammon Steaks
Jerk Butter (Makes 20 portions)
2 thumb-sized Ginger pieces
250g pack Unsalted butter, softened
2 tbsp roughly chopped Thyme Leaves
1/2 tsp Ground Allspice
1/2 tsp Freshly Ground Nutmeg
3 Garlic Cloves crushed
3 Spring Onions finely chopped
1-2 Scotch Bonnet Chilli finely chopped
METHOD:
To make the butter, finely grate the ginger and squeeze out the excess juice. Put the flesh in a bowl with all the other butter ingredients, plus 1⁄2 tsp ground black pepper and 1 tsp salt and mix well until even. Roll into a sausage shape, wrap in cling film and chill until firm. Slice into rounds to serve.
Place the gammon steak under a pre-heated medium grill and cook for approximately 5 minutes each side thoroughly cooked throughout.
Top each steak with a slice of jerk flavoured butter and return under the grill for a further 1-2 minutes until it has thoroughly melted.
Serve with sweet potato fries, chargrilled peppers and pineapple.
