Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7. Prepare the hasselback potatoes; cut thin slices into each potato, being careful not to cut right down to the bottom. Place the potatoes on a lined baking tray, rub with 1 tsp oil and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt. Bake for 25-30 mins, until golden.
  2. Meanwhile, make the salsa verde; roughly chop the coriander and capers. Pop into a bowl and add the juice from half the lemon, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper and stir in 1 tsp olive oil. Set aside. Finely chop the walnuts and mix into the romesco sauce.
  3. Trim the spring onions, quarter the baby gem and trim the broccoli. Heat 1 tsp oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the spring onions and baby gem to the pan. Season well with sea salt. Cook for 2-3 mins, turning occasionally, until golden. Remove from the pan, then add the broccoli. Cook for 1 minute, then add a splash of water and cover with a lid. Continue to cook for 3 mins.
  4. Season the steak with sea salt and black pepper and return the frying pan to the heat. As a guide: cook 3-4 mins on each side for medium rare or 4-5 mins on each side for well-done. Leave to rest for 3 mins, then thinly slice.
  5. To serve, spoon the romesco sauce onto the base of a plate. Pile up the greens and lay the steak on top. Drizzle over the salsa verde and serve the hasselback potatoes on the side.
