Steak Slice with Lemon and Thyme

(Nigella Express)

The recipe - easy. The result - delicious. But, but...

Made this for the first time last week and it was fantastic. Aside from the fact that stray thyme leaves are still turning up all over the place despite copious sweeping, it went down a storm. As the word of Nigella is law, served it with the 'broccolini' she suggested (tender stem broccoli in Tesco-speak) and this was definitely a good move. Some roasted sweet potato (hey - all my own idea) set it off a treat. But by the time the meat had sat in the marinade for the 8 minutes suggested, then been sliced a la recipe it was somewhere between tepid and stone cold. Still delicious, but slightly odd with piping hot veg.

So tonight I tried again.

Inspiration - cover the marinating meat with foil to keep it toasty. Result - no difference at all.
