Instructions

Tomato Chimichurri

  • Roast the tomatoes w/ garlic, salt, chilli flakes and 2 tbsp oil @ 190c for 20-25mins, allow to cool for a few minutes
  • Blitz all the remaining ingredients w/ 2 tbsp oil and place in a mixing bowl
  • Mix the tomato and blended mixture together, mashing the tomatoes as you go
  • Set aside

Fries (make while tomatoes are in the oven)

  • Wash the potatoes and slice into matchsticks using a mandolin and place in iced water *see tips*
  • Heat oil to 180c and fry the chips in batches – dry each batch of chips before frying, I use a salad ricer but you can also use paper towels
  • Mix chopped rosemary and salt together if using and sprinkle cooked fries with salt
  • Repeat until all are cooked

Striploin

  • Remove steak from the fridge 20-30mins prior to cooking and season generously
  • Grill on your BBQ @ 200c for 2 mins per side or until internal temperature is 48-52c for medium rare
  • Remove and allow to rest for 3-4 mins before slicing

Notes

Tips/Tricks

  • allow the steak to come to room temperature before cooking – this will ensure an even cook throughout •
  • ALWAYS rest your steak before slicing
  • tomato chimichurri can be made in advance if using for a dinner party – store in the fridge until ready to use
  • you can prepare the fries in advance – just best to fry them before serving
  • placing the potatoes in cold water helps remove the starch and makes them crispier
