Steak:
1. Brush both sides of the steak with half the BBQ sauce, then cook for 3-4 min each side for medium rare (or cook to your liking).
2. Remove the steak, then brush both sides with the remaining BBQ sauce. Cover and rest for 5-6 min.
Sweetcorn:
While the steak is resting, cut the corn cob in half and place in the pot of boiling water for 5-6 min.

Slice the steak (on the diagonal) into thin strips and divide between two plates. Add the corn cobs and top each one with a teaspoon of butter and serve the slaw on the side.
Chef’s tip:
A quick way to make even carrot matchsticks is to peel the carrot into long wide ribbons using a vegetable peeler. Halve the ribbons and then pile them up and slice into matchsticks.
Alternatively use a julienne peeler if you have one.
