How To Make Jamie Oliver 15 Minute Meal Grilled Steak
- Grill the veg: Slice courgette and aubergine; griddle until charred.
- Cook rice: Simmer rice with saffron, lemon half, water, and salt until fluffy.
- Start the ratatouille: Sauté chopped peppers, onion, garlic, harissa, anchovies in a lidded casserole pan.
- Add charred veg: Rough‑chop and mix in aubergine and courgette, then stir in passata and vinegar; simmer covered.
- Grill the steaks: Rub with oil, salt, paprika. Griddle high heat, turning every minute to desired doneness.
- Make parsley dressing: Chop parsley; mix stalks with mustard, oil, lemon; dress sliced steak on board.
- Finish and serve: Stir basil into ratatouille; serve sliced steak, saffron rice, yoghurt, and ratatouille.

Recipe Tips
- Can I use another cut of beef? Yes—rib-eye or flank steak will also grill beautifully.
- How to get smoky veg flavor? Ensure the griddle pan is hot and don’t crowd the vegetables.
- Is the anchovy necessary? It deepens the ratatouille flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
- Can I make without dairy? Swap yoghurt for a dairy-free alternative or omit.
- How to check steak doneness? Touch with fingertip—firmer means more well done; slice to serve.
What To Serve With Grilled Steak
This meal stands alone but also pairs beautifully with:
- Green salad with lemon vinaigrette
- Steamed greens or asparagus
- Oven-roasted baby potatoes
- Crusty garlic bread or flatbread
- Chilled rosé or light red wine
How To Store Grilled Steak Dinner
Refrigerate: Store components separately (steak, ratatouille, rice) in sealed containers for up to 2 days.
Reheat: Gently rewarm rice and sauce; quickly reheat steak slices in a hot pan or oven for best texture.
Do Not Freeze: Steak quality diminishes after freezing, though ratatouille and rice can be frozen separately.

FAQs
Can I cook the rice in advance?
Yes—cook and refrigerate; reheat with a splash of water before serving.
What to do if I don’t like anchovy?
Use a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce for umami without anchovy.
Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes—ensure passata and harissa are gluten-free. Rice and steak are naturally gluten-free.
Is this spicy?
Mildly—harissa adds a warm heat. Use less if you prefer mellow flavors.
