Roast potatoes

- Place all the cut vegetables into a bowl.
- Toss with the chopped garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper and a generous drizzle of oil.
Roast veg
- Take out the potatoes after 15 min.
- Add the seasoned vegetables to the tray with the potatoes.
- Bake for another 20-25 min until tender and slightly crispy.
Tip: For more char on the vegetables add 5 min to the roasting time.
Make salsa
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the olives.
- Finely chop the parsley and remaining half of the red pepper.
- Place in a bowl and mix together with vinegar, honey, olive oil, a splash of water and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Season with some black pepper.
Cook steak
- Pat the steaks dry with kitchen paper.
- Rub them with oil and season with salt.
- Heat a large pan over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the steaks and allow the fat to render/melt.
- Fry the steaks for 2-3 min on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
- Transfer the steaks to a plate, and leave them to rest for 3-5 min.
Tip: Letting the steak rest is just as crucial as frying it. Resting allows the juices to settle and the fibres to relax, resulting in a more tender steak and a cleaner plate.
