Steak and tomatoes are made for each other, so why not grill them together for a smashing steak sandwich– literally! Grill tomatoes, then mash them over a crusty baguette, smother with slices of tender steak and scatter with capers and onion.

Time Saver

Pickled capers add amazing character to pasta sauces, fresh salsas and mayo sauces for fish.

Toasted baguette

Place baguette slices on grill and lightly toast before adding tomatoes.
