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. 30 minutes prior to cooking, remove the steaks from the fridge and pat dry with paper towel.
  2. Boil a kettle. Dissolve the stock cube in a jug with 50ml boiling water. Place the potatoes in a saucepan with a sprig of mint, then cover with salted boiling water and boil for 20 mins, until cooked through.
  3. Slice 1 shallot into thick rings; finely dice the other. Finely chop the garlic. Remove the mint and parsley leaves from their stalks; finely chop half the herbs (keep the rest whole, discarding the stalks). Trim the asparagus. Halve the tomatoes.
  4. Make the salad. To a bowl, add the tomatoes, shallot rings, chopped herbs and 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Season with sea salt and black pepper, then mix.
  5. Heat a frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on a medium-high heat. Season the steaks with sea salt, then place in the pan. Cook until golden brown (as a guide: 5-6 mins on each side for medium-rare or 8-10 mins on each side for well-done). Remove the steaks from the pan and leave to rest on a plate.
  6. Meanwhile, fill a saucepan with salted boiling water. Boil the asparagus for 2 mins, then drain. Make the sauce. Reheat the saucepan with 1 tbsp oil. Soften the garlic and diced shallot for 3 mins, then add the stock, cream, vinegar and mustard. Simmer for 5 mins, until thickened, then season with sea salt and a generous amount of black pepper.
  7. Wipe the steak frying pan clean and reheat with 1/2 tbsp oil. Cook the asparagus for 1 min, until heated through. Season with sea salt.
  8. Drain the potatoes, then stir through the herb leaves and 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Serve the steaks with the potatoes and asparagus; pour over the peppercorn sauce. Serve the tomato salad on the side.
