Steak with provençale beans & posh potato salad

Steak with provençale beans & posh potato salad

Juicy oregano-sprinkled steaks would usually be the star attraction, but in this divine dish the sides deserve the spotlight, too! There’s a quickie baby potato and spring onion salad, plus green beans get a glow-up with fried onion, garlic, sweet cherry tomatoes and a squeeze of our sun-dried tomato paste.

Set the spuds simmering

  • Halve the potatoes, then cook them in boiling water for 15-18 mins. Drain and lightly season.

Make the marinade

  • Meanwhile, finely chop the thyme leaves. Put them into a large mixing bowl with the oregano, mustard and half the garlic paste, then squeeze in the juice from half the lemon (to taste) and stir well.

Sizzle the steaks

  • On a separate board, trim any visible fat from the steaks.
  • Spritz a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a high heat. Cook the steaks for 3-4 mins on each side for medium (5-6 mins for well done).
  • Put the steaks in the mixing bowl, toss to coat and leave to marinate.

Sort the beans

  • Peel and finely dice the onions. Halve the tomatoes, and trim the green beans.
  • Spritz the frying pan with more cooking spray and put it over a medium-high heat. Fry the onions and beans for 4-6 mins.
  • Add the remaining garlic paste, the tomatoes and tomato paste, then lightly season and cook for 2 mins, stirring to coat the veg.

Finish & serve

  • Remove the steaks from the marinade and thinly slice against the grain, then mix the yogurt into the marinade.
  • Thinly slice the spring onions, then stir them into the yogurt mixture along with the potatoes to make your potato salad.
  • Serve the steak with the potato salad and provençale beans.
