Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

600 g free-range sirloin steak
Olive oil for searing
*4 potatoes
Vegetable oil for frying
Watercress for serving
Sea salt, to taste

For the mustard dressing, mix:

1 T Dijon mustard
1 T red wine vinegar

1 T capers, rinsed
4 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
4 salad onions, finely chopped
1/3 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

*WRewards, exclusively for cardholders

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Oil the steaks. Sear until well browned, then finish cooking in the oven for 5 minutes. Wrap in foil and leave to rest for 10 minutes.

Slice and serve topped with the dressing, lots of watercress, and potatoes on the side.

To make the crispy fried potatoes, scrub the potatoes and slice thinly using a mandoline.

Deep fry in hot oil until crisp and golden, drain on kitchen paper towel and add salt to taste.

Cook’s note: Try the dressing over grilled fish or chicken.
