Ingredients

1 cup tomato sauce

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup sweet chilli sauce

4 shallots, finely chopped

1/4 cup instant coffee granules

2 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon chilli powder

1 kilogram beef skirt steak

Charred corn salad

2 corn cobs, husks removed

250 gram punnet cherry tomatoes, quartered

1/2 small red onion, finely sliced

1/4 cup coriander leaves, chopped, plus extra to garnish

2 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method

1.In a saucepan, combine all the ingredients except beef to make a marinade. Stir on low heat until smooth. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half. Set aside until cool.

2.Reserve a third of the marinade. In a shallow dish, combine beef with remaining marinade, then cover and chill for 2 hours or overnight.

3.Heat an oiled char-grill plate or pan on medium. Drain beef from marinade. Cook steak for 4-5 minutes each side for medium. Rest, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes. Thinly slice across the grain.

4.Serve the beef drizzled with reserved marinade and sprinkled with extra coriander. Accompany with salad.

Charred corn salad

5.Heat a char-grill plate on medium. Cook corn for 5-7 minutes, turning, until light grill marks appear. Slice the kernels from the cobs and place in a salad bowl. Add all remaining ingredients. Season and toss well.
