Ingredients for 4 portions

- to tasteBlack pepper
- 600 gSirloin steak, 4 steaks, about 2 cm thick
- 2 tbspButter, for frying
- 2 dlReady-made béarnaise
On the side
- 1 kgPotato, in wedges
- 2 tbspRapeseed oil
- ½Lettuce
- ½Cucumber
- 250 gCherry tomato
- 1 tbspOlive oil
Method
- Heat the oven to 225 °C. Scrub the potatoes and cut them into wedges. Toss the wedges with the oil, salt and pepper and spread them out in one layer on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Roast the wedges in the middle of the oven for 30–35 minutes, until golden and tender. Turn them halfway through.
- Take the steaks out of the fridge. Wash and tear the lettuce, slice the cucumber and halve the tomatoes. Put everything in a bowl and drizzle with the olive oil.
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a frying pan until it stops foaming, then fry the steaks over a high heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until pink in the middle.
- Let the meat rest under foil for 5 minutes.
- Stir the béarnaise. If the packet says to warm it, do so gently in a small pan – don't let it boil.
- Serve the steaks with the potato wedges, béarnaise and salad.
