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

  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a large bowl, a medium bowl & a sieve

Cook the potatoes

  • Remove the steaks from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Season both sides with salt and pepper
  • Quarter the potatoes, then add to the saucepan and boil for 13-15 mins, until softened. Drain and allow to cool slightly

Finish the prep

  • Halve the tomatoes. Cut the cucumber into 1/2cm half-moons. Finely chop the gherkins and chives. Thinly slice the garlic

Get sizzlin'

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook (as a guide: cook for 3-4 mins on each side for medium-rare, or 6-7 mins for well done). Quickly sear the edges of the steaks, then remove from the pan and leave to rest
  • Reheat the large frying pan on medium heat-low. Once hot, add the tomatoes and garlic and cook for 3-4 mins, until soft. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat

Build the salads

  • Place the gherkins and chives into the large bowl and mix with the yoghurt, the cooked potatoes and 1/2 tsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add the cucumber to the medium bowl with the salad leaves, 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to combine

Plate up

  • Slice the steaks against the grain
  • Serve the steaks on plates, with the creamy potatoes and cucumber salad alongside. Top the steaks with the pan-fried tomatoes
