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.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a large bowl & a grater

Get started

  • Remove the steaks from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Season both sides with salt and pepper
  • Cut the sweet potato into 2cm chunks (peel optional). Cut the onion into 2cm wedges. Place the sweet potato and onion onto the lined baking tray and toss with 1 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 mins, until soft and golden

Time to roast

  • Finely chop the chives. Halve the tomatoes. Thinly slice the olives. Trim the green beans. Zest and halve the lemon
  • When the sweet potato has 10 mins remaining, place the green beans onto the lined baking tray, drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil and season with a pinch of salt. Return to the oven for the remaining time

Sizzle the steaks & make the dressing

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook (as a guide: cook for 2-3 mins on each side for medium, or 3-4 mins for medium-well). Quickly sear the edges of the steaks, then remove from the pan and leave to rest
  • Add the sundried tomato paste to the large bowl and mix with the honey, zest and juice from the lemon and 1 tsp olive oil. Season to taste

Make the potato salad & plate up

  • When everything's ready, to the dressing bowl, add the roast veg, tomatoes, olives, salad leaves and half the chives. Toss to combine
  • Thinly slice the steaks against the grain
  • Share the salad between plates, with the steak on top. Sprinkle over the remaining chives
