  1. ROASTY 'TATOES

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the sweet potato wedges, and the rinsed rosemary on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.

  2. POPPIN’ SEEDS!

    Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until they begin to pop and turn brown. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.

  3. PREP STEP

    Boil the kettle. Place the cab sauv vinegar and 1 tbsp of olive oil in a bowl. Mix in 1 tsp of a sweetener of choice until mostly dissolved. Dilute the stock with 60ml of boiling water. Set the dressing and stock aside.

  4. JUICY STEAK

    When the sweet potato wedges reach the halfway mark, return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the steak dry with paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned all over and cooked to your preference. (The time frame recommended will yield a medium-rare result.) During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the steak with a knob of butter (optional). Remove from the heat on completion and set aside to rest in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing. Lightly season the slices.

  5. SAUCE & SALAD

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil or knob of butter. When hot, sauté the grated garlic and crushed black pepper for 30-60 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the diluted stock and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced. Remove from the heat, whisk in the crème fraîche, and season to taste. Toss the rinsed salad leaves and peas together with the dressing to taste.

  6. ET VOILÀ!

    Dish up the juicy slices of steak and drizzle over the creamy black pepper sauce. Place the roast sweet potato wedges and the dressed salad on the side. Sprinkle over the toasted pumpkin seeds. You just can’t beat the classics!
