Ingredients

oil for frying

Potatoes

1 kilogram agria potatoes, scrubbed

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup fresh thyme, chopped

Creamy garlic and chive sauce

25 gram butter

Method

1.Preheat oven to 190°C (210°C fan bake). Take steaks from the fridge and remove packaging 20 minutes prior to cooking. Leave on a clean board or plate covered with paper towels.

2.To prepare potatoes, Cut potatoes into chip-sized sticks. Toss in a bowl with olive oil and thyme. Season generously with salt and pepper. Arrange on a large roasting dish or oven tray so they are not touching. Bake, without shaking them, for 30-40 minutes until golden and crispy.

3.Make creamy garlic and chive sauce. (see recipe below)

4.Heat a large frying pan on high. Brush steaks with oil on both sides and season with salt and pepper.

5.Add to the hot pan a couple at a time (don’t crowd the pan) and fry until one side is browned and crusty. Turn over and cook the other side until medium-rare or cooked to your liking.

6.Set aside on a wooden board, cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 7-10 minutes before serving. Repeat with the other steaks (or use two frying pans).

7.To serve, spoon the sauce over the steaks. Serve with potatoes and green beans or a simple green salad.
