PERI-PERI POTATO WEDGES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the sweet potato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, three-quarters of the Peri-Peri Rub (to taste), and some seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and starting to crisp, shifting halfway.
THE BASIL PESTO & THE PICKLE
In a bowl, combine the chopped basil with 2 tbsp of olive oil and the juice of 1 lemon wedge. Mix in the lemon zest and grated garlic to taste. Season to taste and set aside for serving. Place the sliced radish and cucumber half-moons in a salad bowl. Add the white wine vinegar, 1 tsp of a sweetener of choice, and some seasoning. Toss to coat and set aside to pickle until serving.
POP THOSE PUMPKIN SEEDS
Place a nonstick pan over a medium heat. When hot, toast the pumpkin seeds for 3-5 minutes until they begin to pop and turn brown. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.
SMOKY SIRLOIN STEAK
When the wedges have 10 minutes remaining, return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the steak dry with some paper towel. When the pan is hot, sear the steak fat-side down, for 3-5 minutes until crispy. Then, fry each side for 2-4 minutes, or until cooked to your preference. (The time this takes will depend on the thickness of the steak.) During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the steak with a knob of butter and the remaining Peri-Peri Rub. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Lightly season the slices.
TOSS THE CRISP SIDE SALAD
Drain the pickling liquid from the bowl of cucumber and radish, reserving it to dress the salad if you’d like. Add in the rinsed salad leaves and toasted pumpkin seeds. Crumble over the drained feta and toss together with a drizzle of olive oil.
REFRESHING & NOURISHING
Dish up the crispy Peri-Peri wedges alongside the juicy sirloin slices. Liberally drizzle the basil pesto over the sirloin. Serve the tangy garden salad on the side and garnish with a remaining lemon wedge. Tuck in, Chef!
