Griddled steak with lemon and coriander-roasted potatoes Recipe

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 100g/3½oz rump steak
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ potato, chopped
  • ½ lemon, juice only
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
  • 1 carrot, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tsp coriander seeds
  • pinch chilli flakes
  • 25g/1oz butter
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
  2. For the steak, rub the olive oil into the meat and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat a chargrill pan until smoking and fry the steak for 2-4 minutes on each side (for medium rare), or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the pan and place onto a warm plate to rest.
  3. For the potatoes, heat the olive oil in an ovenproof pan and fry the potatoes for 3-4 minutes, or until lightly golden. Transfer to the oven to roast for 10-12 minutes, or until golden-brown and tender, then stir in the lemon juice and coriander.
  4. For the carrot and coriander purée, boil the carrots with the coriander seeds in a pan until tender, then drain and pulse in a food processor along with the remaining purée ingredients until smooth.
  5. To serve, spoon the purée onto a plate and top with the roasted potato. Thickly slice the steak and arrange on top.
