Chimichurri Steak With Crispy Sweet Potatoes & Fried Egg

Before you start cooking, take your steak out of the fridge, open the packet and let it adjust to room temperature

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Deseed your pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut into thick strips

Top, tail and slice your courgette[s] lengthways into 2 thick strips per person

Add the sliced pepper and courgette strips to a baking tray (or two!) lined with tin foil

Add a drizzle of olive oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper and put the tray[s] in the oven for 30 min or until the pepper and courgette are tender and charred

Meanwhile, cut your potato[es] (skins on) into bite-sized cubes

Add the cubed potatoes to a separate baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 25 min or until crispy and golden – these are your crispy potatoes

While the potatoes are in the oven, cut your red chilli[es] in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely

Chop your coriander & parsley finely, including the stalks

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Combine the chopped chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), parsley, coriander and garlic (not a fan of raw garlic? Just add a little!) with your dried oregano, red wine vinegar, 2 tbsp [2 1/2 tbsp] [3 tbsp] olive oil and a pinch of salt – this is your chimichurri

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

Pat the rump steak[s] dry with kitchen paper, drizzle with vegetable oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides

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

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

Once the steak is cooked, transfer to a clean board to rest, reserving the pan

Return the reserved pan to a medium-low heat

Once hot, crack your egg[s] into the pan, then cover with a lid and cook for 2-3 min or until done to your liking

Tip: Give your egg[s] a little shake before you crack for a perfectly centred yolk[s]!
