4	Fillet(s)	Eye fillet	3cm thick pieces
16	Whole	Green King Prawns	medium, peeled
16	Tbsp	Olive Oil
4	Tbsp	Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2	Clove(s)	Garlic	very finely sliced
4	Tbsp	Butter

1/2	Cup(s)	Fresh Flat-leaf Parsley	roughly chopped
1/2	Cup(s)	Fresh Chives	finely chopped

Directions

Rub the fillet with the tablespoon of oil and season with salt and pepper.

Cook on flat grill on medium to high heat until medium rare or to your taste.

Rest the meat for five minutes, loosely covered.

While the meat is resting, melt the butter in the four tablespoons of oil in your wok over the highest heat and add the prawns and fresh herbs.

Season with sea salt and black pepper.

Cook until the prawns become opaque.

Place a piece of beef on each plate and spoon the prawn mixture over the top.

Serve with a lemon quarter, crusty bread to mop up the garlic butter and a sharply dressed green salad.
