Cooking Instructions
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 large bowl & a small bowl
Prep the veg
- Remove the steaks from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Season both sides with salt and pepper
- Quarter the potatoes, then place onto the lined baking tray and toss with 2 tsp oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 20 mins
- Meanwhile, trim the broccoli. Thinly slice the onion. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Finely chop the parsley
Make the pickled onion & add the pesto dressing
- Add the onion to the large bowl with the vinegar and a pinch of salt. Mix and set aside to pickle
- Add the pesto, garlic, parsley and 1 tbsp oil to the small bowl. Mix well and season to taste
- After 20 mins of roasting, add the broccoli to the potato tray. Toss with 1 tsp oil, salt and pepper
- Add half the pesto dressing to the potatoes, toss to coat, then return to the oven for a further 10-12 mins, until the veg is golden and cooked through
Get sizzlin'
- Heat the large frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium 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
Salad time
- Halve the olives and tomatoes
- Transfer the potatoes, broccoli, tomatoes, olives and the remaining pesto dressing to the pickled onion bowl. Toss to combine and season with salt and pepper
Plate up
- Thinly slice the steaks against the grain
- Serve the rocket onto plates, then top with the red pesto potato salad. Serve the steaks on top. Drizzle over any steak cooking juices from the pan
