MILLET
Place the millet in a pot over medium heat. Toast until fragrant, 1-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add 150ml of salted water and a drizzle of olive oil. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 10-12 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Toss through the peas and cover.
PREP
Rinse and finely slice the green leaves. Rinse, pick, and finely chop the mint. Peel and grate the garlic. Peel and roughly slice the onion. Drain and roughly chop the capers. Drain the feta and the piquanté peppers.
VERDE
In a bowl, combine the chopped capers, the grated garlic, the sliced green leaves, and ½ the sliced mint. Add the lemon juice (to taste), 30ml of oil, and seasoning. Mix until combined. Loosen with oil in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Alternatively, place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until combined.
STEAK
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the steak dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the steak fat-side down until crispy, 3-5 minutes. Flip the steak and sear until browned, 2-4 minutes per side (for medium-rare). In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter and ½ the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
ONIONS
Return the pan with the pan juices to medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil if necessary. When hot, fry the sliced onions and the remaining NOMU rub until lightly golden but still crunchy, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally).
SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine the millet & peas, the drained feta, the drained piquanté peppers, the fried onion, and any remaining pan juices (to taste). Add a generous drizzle of olive oil and season.
YUM!
Bowl up the millet salad. Top with the steak slices and drizzle over the homemade salsa verde. Garnish with the remaining mint.
