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. Cut the sweet potatoes into thin chips (peel optional). Place on a lined baking tray and toss with the paprika, maple syrup, 1 tbsp oil, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 20-25 mins, until golden and cooked through.
  2. Bring a saucepan filled with salted hot water and bring to a boil. Remove the husk from the corn, then add to the pan. Boil for 8-10 mins, until cooked. Leave to cool slightly, then shred the kernels from the cob and place in a bowl.
  3. Make the salsa. Quarter the tomatoes. Dice the avocado into cubes. Thinly slice the spring onions. Trim and thinly slice the lettuce. Add all to the corn bowl along with the juice from the lime (to taste) and 1 tsp olive oil. Lightly season with sea salt and black pepper.
  4. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium heat. Season the steaks with sea salt and black pepper. Add to the pan and cook (as a guide: 3-4 mins on each side for medium-rare, or 5-6 mins for well-done). Remove and leave to rest then thinly slice against the grain.
  5. Serve the chips, salsa salad and steaks with the chimichurri.
