Cooking Instructions
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 medium bowl
Roast the potatoes
- Remove the steaks from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Season both sides with salt and pepper
- Cut the potatoes into 3cm chunks, then place onto the lined baking tray with the garlic cloves (in their skin) and toss with 1 tsp oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 5 mins
Add the veg
- Cut the onion into 8 wedges. Cut the carrot into 2cm chunks. Strip the thyme from the stalks and roughly chop
- After 5 mins of roasting, remove the garlic and set aside. Add the onion, carrot and thyme to the potato tray, toss with 1 tsp oil, half the five-spice and a pinch of salt and pepper
- Roast for a further 20-25 mins, until soft and golden
Start the salad
- Reserve 1 orange wedge, then peel and dice the remaining into 1cm chunks and add to the medium bowl
- Heat the large frying pan with 1/2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the mangetout and cook for 2-3 mins, until softened. Add to the medium bowl with the orange chunks
- Peel and finely chop the garlic into a paste
Sizzle the steaks & make the roast garlic sauce
- Reheat the frying pan with 1 tsp 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-rare, or 5-7 mins for well done). Quickly sear the edges of the steaks, then remove from the pan and leave to rest
- Keep the pan on the heat and add the tamari, roasted garlic paste, maple mustard dressing, hot honey, juice from the reserved orange, remaining five-spice and 1 tbsp water (1/2 tbsp for 1 person). Cook for 2 mins, until thickened and season to taste
Plate up
- Slice the steaks against the grain
- Mix the salad leaves through the orange and mangetout with 1/2 tsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper
- Serve the steaks onto plates, with the roasted veg and orange salad alongside. Spoon over the roasted garlic sauce
