  1. ROAST POTATO

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the kettle. Spread out the potato wedges on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes, shifting halfway.

  2. ZINGY MOMENT

    In a bowl, add the lemon juice (to taste), 1 tbsp of water, seasoning, and a sweetener of choice (to taste). Mix until the sweetener is fully dissolved. Add the cucumber ribbons, toss until fully combined, and set aside. Submerge the peas in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until plump and heated through. Drain on completion.

  3. LET’S PREP

    In a bowl, combine the tonkatsu sauce, seasoning, and 1 tsp of a sweetener of choice. Set aside. Place the mixed sesame seeds on a shallow dish or plate and set aside. Loosen the gochujang with a drizzle of oil.

  4. CRUSTED BEEF FILLET

    Place a pan over a high heat. Pat the fillet dry with some paper towel, and season. Rub some oil into the fillet until well coated. When the pan is hot, sear the fillet for 4-5 minutes per side until browned. (The time frame may vary depending on the thickness of the fillet). In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter or a drizzle of oil. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes. On completion, roll the fillet through the sesame seeds until well coated. Gently slice and season.

  5. SPICY POTATO WEDGES

    When the potato wedges have 10 minutes remaining, remove the tray from the oven and coat the potato wedges in the loosened gochujang paste – use it to taste, it’s spicy! Return to the oven for the remaining roasting time until cooked through and crisping up. Drain the pickling liquid from the cucumber ribbons and toss with the plump peas.

  6. DINNER IS SERVED!

    Plate up the spicy potato wedges and side with the sesame fillet. Drizzle the tonkatsu sauce over the fillet. Serve the pickled cucumber salad on the side. Sprinkle over any remaining sesame seeds. Wow, Chef!
