Instructions
1
- Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm chips (peeling optional).
- Pop the chips onto a large (lined) baking tray. Drizzle with oil, half the Cajun spice and season well with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
- When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.
TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
2
- Meanwhile, pop the garlic (unpeeled) into a small piece of foil with a drizzle of oil. Scrunch to enclose.
- Add the parcel to the baking tray with the chips and roast until soft, 20-25 mins. Once cooked remove from the oven.
- While everything roasts, trim and thinly slice the scallion.
- Zest and halve the lime. Trim the green beans.
- Roughly chop the parsley, stalks and all.
3
- When the chips have 15 mins left to go, place a pan over medium-high heat (no oil).
- Once hot, cook the lime, cut-side down, until charred, 3-4 mins. Remove from pan.
- Wipe the pan and return to medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Fry the tomatoes and green beans until just charred, 2-3 mins. Lower heat to medium, cook for 1 min.
- Add a splash of water and cover with a lid. Cook until tender, 4-5 mins. Remove from the pan. Cover to keep warm.
4
- Wipe the pan and return to high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Season the sirloin with salt and pepper.
- Once hot, fry the sirloin until browned, 1-2 mins on each side for medium-rare.
- Cook for another 1-2 mins on each side if you want it more well-done. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat and its packaging.
TIP: Cook in batches if necessary.
5
- Once the garlic has cooled, cut the end with scissors, squeeze out of its skin and mash with 2 tbsp butter (double for 4p).
- Add the butter to the pan. Let it melt then add the parsley, remaining Cajun spice, scallion, lime zest and chilli flakes (use less if you don't like spice).
- Use a spoon to baste the steak in the butter.
- Remove the steak from the pan, cover and rest, 1-2 mins. IMPORTANT: Meat is safe to eat when outside is browned.
6
- When everything is ready, slice the steaks widthways into 1cm slices and transfer to your plates.
- Spoon over the chimichurri butter sauce from the pan.
- Serve with chips, green beans and charred lime for squeezing over alongside.
