in the polenta and oregano, mixing vigorously with a wooden spoon until smooth.
2. Turn the mixture onto a work surface or board and shape into a flat circle
about 20cm/8 inches in diameter. Leave for 10 minutes until set.
3. Meanwhile, place the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, garlic, chilli, coriander,
lime juice, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl and mix well. Set aside.
4. Preheat the grill to hot. Brush the steak with a little oil, season with salt
and pepper then place on the grill rack and grill for 2 – 5 minutes on each
side, depending on how well done you like your meat.
5. Meanwhile, heat a nonstick pan until hot. Cut the polenta into 4 wedges and
dry-fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Don’t try to move the
wedges around before 2 minutes cooking time is up or they’ll fall apart.
6. To serve – place the polenta onto individual serving plates, top with the
salsa, then place the steak on the side. Serve immediately.
