Make sure you have the barbecue/hot plate medium hot. Don't turn the steak more than once. If soft when pressed - rare, springy - medium, firm - well done.

  3. Add onion and capsicum to pan. Cook, stirring, for 3–4 minutes or until browned lightly. Add garlic and anchovies. Cook for 1 minute. Add tomato and vinegar and cook for 1 minute. Return eggplant to pan with olives and capers. Cook, stirring for 5 minutes or until vegetables are just tender. Remove from heat. Stand for 5 minutes.
