Steak Slice With Lemon and Thyme ( Nigella Lawson)

From Nigella express, I really like this recipe and contrary to her instructions I am currently marinating my steak in the mixture prior to cooking, I will be putting it back into the marinade as directed in the recipe, its just so happened I had enough time to do this. So I’m in process of making it, it looks great, ill update recipe with how I found it later I will probably work out a slimming world friendly version as well.

Directions

1. Cut away fat from around the edge of the steak whilst you heat a griddle or heavey based pan.
