Cooking Steps
1
- Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
- Pop the potatoes onto a large (lined) baking tray.
- Toss with Central American spice, salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil. Spread out in a single layer.
- When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
2
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Cut the tomato into 2cm chunks.
- Season the beef with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat and its packaging.
3
- Place a large pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the beef until browned, 1-2 mins each side for medium-rare.
- Cook for another 1-2 mins on each side if you like it medium and a further 1-2 mins on each side if you want it well-done. IMPORTANT: Meat is safe to eat when the outside is browned.
- Once cooked, remove from the pan, cover and allow to rest.
4
- Return the pan to medium-high heat with 2 tbsp butter (per 2P) and a drizzle of oil.
- When melted, add the prawns, tomato, garlic and half the parsley. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw prawns.
- Stir in ½ tsp sugar (per 2P) and 25ml water (per 2P).
- Season with salt and pepper and cook until tomato is just softened, 4-5 mins.
5
- When the tomato has started to soften, stir through the chilli flakes (use less if you don't like spice) and remaining parsley.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
- Once cooked, remove the pan from the heat. IMPORTANT: Prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
6
- Thinly slice the beef and share between plates.
- Spoon over the tomato garlic prawns.
- Serve the roast potatoes and salad leaves alongside.
- Finish the salad with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
