At Christmas we were visiting home to New Zealand. While there we went to dinner round at my aunty's and she made this splendid dish. I made her fork up the recipe because it was so wonderful.

DIRECTIONS

For this recipe you will also need tomato relish and 1/2 cup pesto.
Trim fat and membrane from each steak and season with sea salt and black pepper.
In a smoking hot pan, add olive oil and sear the meat until it is sealed all over.
Allow 2 minutes each side.
Leave to rest while preparing crust.
In a food processor, make fresh bread crumbs and process the fresh parsley.
Combine together in a bowl, season with sea salt and pepper, add garlic and melted butter.
Smear each steak with mustard.
Place crust on each fillet piling on top.
Place in 220° oven for 15-20 minutes.
Rest meat 10 minutes before serving.
While resting, prepare sauce.
Gently heat 1 cup of your favourite tomato relish and 1/2 cup pesto.
If you want to thin, use a little beef stock, this isn't necessary.
