Ingredients

  • 2 items 226g / 8oz Sirloin Steak
  • 250 g Oven Fries
  • 20 g Fresh Parsley
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 2 tsp Chopped Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
  • 0.25 tsp Ground Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 item Red Chilli
  • 1 tbsp Sunflower Oil
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice

Method

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees celsius. Tenderise and season the steaks.
  2. Add the fries to the oven and cook according to instructions.
  3. Finely chop the parsley and chilli, and mix together with the lemon juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil, chopped garlic, oregano and salt and pepper. Alternatively, blitz all the ingredients in a mini food processor.
  4. Heat the sunflower oil in a griddle pan or frying pan and cook to your liking. If you like it medium, this should be around 3-4 minutes per side for a 2-3cm thick steak.
