Ingredients

  • 800g baby potatoes, quartered
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 700g sirloin steak, cut into 3cm cubes
  • 50g butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 100g rocket
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water for 8 minutes. Drain well and leave to steam dry.

  2. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the potatoes for 8 to 10 minutes, turning, until crisp and golden. Season and keep warm.

  3. Pat the steak dry and season well. Heat the remaining oil in a second pan over a very high heat and sear the steak for 2 to 3 minutes, turning, until browned.

  4. Lower the heat. Add the butter, garlic and thyme and spoon the foaming butter over the steak for 1 minute. Stir in the parsley.

  5. Toss the rocket with the olive oil and lemon juice. Serve the steak bites with the potatoes and rocket.
