Griddled Steak with Horseradish Sauce

Meat cooked this way is quick, simple and totally delicious. Rubbing the top of the meat with a garlic clove as it cooks is a little trick I've learned from the American barbecue king, Adam Perry Lang. You're standing there watching the meat cook anyway, so you may as well keep busy and give it some love! It's such a small thing but it really makes the meat taste great – give it a try, you'll never go back.
