STEAK SLICE WITH LEMON AND THYME
This recipe, or rather the method, was suggested to me by my agent Ed Victor, and so is known familiarly as Ed's Tender Rump. The method is this: instead of marinading the meat before cooking, you marinade it after -- and it really does keep it extraordinarily tender. Please feel free to play around with the herbs; I think Ed himself uses oregano rather than the thyme I love. I love this with broccoletti or those leggy tenderstem broccoli. A couple of packets, lightly cooked and then drained and placed in the marinade after the beef's out and sliced, is the most heavenly accompaniment. And I can't tell you how good both steak and broccoli are cold later.

Steps:
- Cut away the fat from around the edge of the steak while you heat a griddle or pan.
- Brush the steak with oil to prevent it sticking to the griddle or pan, and then cook for 3 minutes a side plus 1 minute each side turned again (this gives you pretty griddle marks) for desirably rare meat; the lemon in the post-hoc marinade 'cooks' it a little more.
- While the steak is cooking, place the thyme leaves, garlic, oil, lemon zest, juice, salt and pepper in a wide shallow dish.
- Once the steak is cooked, place it in the dish of marinade for 4 minutes a side, before removing it to a board and slicing thinly on the diagonal.

This is a very simple slice to make. It's a great everyday recipe and a slice with a cuppa is divine. It's Gluten Free but can be made also using regular wheat flour (all-purpose flour ) with success too. If you use GF flour, nobody would guess that this slice is gluten free

Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat oven to 375oF/180oC. Well grease and line a large 27 x 27 cm pan (10.5" x 10.5") pan and set aside.
- 2. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, flour and butter until it looks like breadcrumbs. Add the eggs and beat to combine, it will look like big fat breadcrumbs - this is correct.
- 3. Tip 2/3 of the mixture (or there abouts) into the pan and flatten evenly out using your fingers. Tip the prepared lemon curd/butter over the base (we always use 2 cups of lemon butter/curd due to liking a more gooey centre and extra lemon flavour). Use your fingers to crumble the remaining dough on top - as evenly as you can.
- 4. Bake in the prepared oven for about 35- 40 minutes, it should look just golden on on top. Cool in the tin. Remove and slice into squares and store in an air tight container.
Tips:
- Choose the right lemons. Meyer lemons are ideal for lemon slices because they are sweeter and less tart than regular lemons. If you can't find Meyer lemons, you can use regular lemons, but you may need to add a little sugar to the syrup.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the lemons. This will help to prevent the lemons from tearing.
- Make sure the syrup is boiling before you add the lemon slices. This will help to prevent the lemons from becoming tough.
- Cook the lemon slices for the amount of time specified in the recipe. Overcooking the lemon slices will make them tough.
- Let the lemon slices cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent the lemon slices from becoming sticky.
Conclusion:
Lemon slices are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They can be used to add a pop of flavor to desserts, drinks, and main courses. They can also be used as a garnish or decoration. With a little planning, you can easily make your own lemon slices at home. So next time you need a little bit of lemon flavor, reach for a homemade lemon slice instead of a store-bought one.
