BOIL THE POTS
Place the sliced potatoes in a pot and cover with salted cold water. Place the pot over a medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally. Drain on completion.
TOASTY SEEDS
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion.
LOVELY LYONNAISE
Once the potatoes are cooked, return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and knob of butter. When hot, add ½ the boiled potatoes and ½ the sliced onion. Fry for 4-5 minutes, shifting occasionally. Add the remaining potato and sliced onion, another drizzle of oil, and another knob of butter. Lower the heat and fry for a further 5-10 minutes until the onion slices are golden and the potato slices are starting to crisp. Remove from pan, season and cover to keep warm.
AU POIVRE SAUCE
Place a pan over a medium heat with a knob of butter and the sugar. Once melted, stir in the crushed black peppercorns, the brandy, the beef stock, and 50ml of water. Simmer until the sauce has reduced by ¾. Stir in the cream and simmer for 4-5 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
SIRLOIN & SALAD
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the steak dry with a paper towel. When the pan is hot, sear the steak fat-side down, for 3-5 minutes until crispy. Then, fry for 2-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your preference (this time frame may depend on the thickness of the steak). During the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter and the rub. Remove from the pan on completion and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Lightly season the slices. In a bowl, toss the rinsed green leaves, toasted sunflower seeds, and the tomato chunks with a drizzle of oil and seasoning.
