Cooking Steps
Take the steak out of the fridge and allow it to reach room temperature. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Peel or wash the potatoes and cut into fries of no more than 1cm thickness. Pat the fries dry with kitchen paper, then transfer to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes, tossing halfway.
In the meantime, discard the tips of the green beans and transfer to a lidded pot or saucepan. Cover with a shallow layer of water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, covered, and allow to simmer gently for 6 - 8 minutes until al dente. When finished, drain the beans and rinse under cold water to stop them from cooking further, then set aside to cool.
Prepare the stock. Slice the onion into half rings. Melt a generous knob of butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the onion for 6 - 7 minutes. Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar, then stir in the BBQ rub* and the stock. Mix well and then allow to reduce over low heat for 5 - 8 minutes.
*Take care, this ingredient is spicy! Use as preferred.
Melt a knob of butter in another frying pan over medium-high heat. Pat the steak dry with kitchen paper and season with salt. When the butter is nice and hot, fry the steak for 1 - 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and season with pepper, then set aside under aluminium foil.
Cut the tomato into wedges. In a salad bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil with the white wine vinegar, mustard and honey. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the green beans, tomato and lettuce, then toss well to combine to combine with the dressing.
Slice the steak into strips and serve with the fries and the salad. Top the steak with the onion jus. Serve the mayonnaise with the fries.
Did you know... green beans are high in potassium, which helps to maintain a healthy blood pressure. They're also a good source of iron and folic acid, both of which us feel more energetic.
