BBQ Special With Peppercorn Steak, Jalapeño Hot Link Sausage & Slaw

Before you begin...

Some parts of this recipe work well cooked on the BBQ. We've given you oven instructions too, just in case the British weather has other plans. As every BBQ is different, we can't give exact BBQ cooking times - but we've added a handy tip to show you what you can BBQ if you'd like.

If you choose to cook on the BBQ, always make sure meat is cooked through (no pink meat!)

Now, let's get started!

Preheat the oven to 230ºC/ 210ºC (fan)/ gas 8, then take your steak out of the fridge, open the packet and let it adjust to room temperature and boil a kettle

Chop your waxy potatoes in half, then trim and slice your spring onion[s] finely

Add the chopped potatoes to a pot of plenty of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat, then once boiling, cook for 12-15 min or until fork-tender, then drain and return to the pot

While the potatoes are cooking, add your hot link sausage[s] to a baking paper-lined baking tray for 11-15 min, turning half way or until golden and cooked through

Tip: You can cook this on the BBQ if you like!

Meanwhile, combine half your mayo and half your white wine vinegar (you'll use the rest later!) with your carrot & cabbage slaw mix and a pinch of salt and pepper – this is your slaw

Combine half your cracked black pepper (you'll use the rest later!) and the remaining mayo in a small bowl with the remaining white wine vinegar and a generous pinch of sugar – this is your peppercorn mayo

Combine your red chilli relish and tomato ketchup in a small bowl – this is your sweet chilli ketchup

Pat your steak[s] dry with kitchen paper, then drizzle them with vegetable oil and season with a pinch of salt and the remaining cracked black pepper on both sides – this is your peppercorn steak

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a high heat

Once very hot, add the peppercorn steak[s] to the pan

For rare, cook for 2-3 min max on each side; for medium-rare, cook for 3-4 min on each side; for medium, cook for 4-5 min on each side

Tip: You can cook this on the BBQ if you like!

Once the steaks are cooked, transfer to a plate to rest

Once the potatoes are ready, add a small knob of butter with your sliced spring onions and a pinch of salt and pepper and give them a good mix up – this is your potato salad

Slice the rested peppercorn steak finely on a clean board
