Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 395°F/ Gas 6
Chop the potatoes (skins on) into chips
2
Add the chips to a baking tray with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a generous pinch of salt
Give everything a good mix up and add the tray to the oven for 25-30 min or until golden and crisp
3
Meanwhile, peel and finely dice the shallot[s]
Peel and finely chop (or grate!) the garlic
Boil a kettle
4
Meanwhile, heat a separate, large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid), with a knob of butter over a medium heat
Once melted, add the chopped garlic and green beans and cook for 1-2 min or until the garlic is fragrant
Season with a pinch of salt and add a splash of boiled water and cook, covered, for 4-5 min or until the beans are tender
Once done, keep covered and set aside for later
5
Pat the sirloin steaks dry with kitchen paper, rub them with vegetable oil and season both sides generously with salt
Heat a large, dry, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a high heat
Once very hot, add the sirloin steaks 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
Once the steaks are cooked, transfer them to a plate to rest
6
Once the steaks are done, return the pan to a low heat
Add the diced shallot and cook for 1-2 min or until softened
7
Add the soy sauce and crème fraîche and cook for 2-3 min, stirring frequently
Tip: Scrape any bits from the bottom of the pan as this will add extra flavour to the sauce!
Add the cracked black pepper and Chinese rice wine and cook for 1-2 min further or until the sauce has thickened – this is your peppercorn sauce
Tip: Add a splash of boiled water if your sauce is looking a little thick!
