Method
Before You Begin
Prepare your ingredients & cooking utensils: Use a chopping board and lay all the ingredients out. Take out any “Pantry Items”. Preheat the oven to 200°C
Wasing Instructions
Wash your hands, baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes, celery, and spring onion well. Rinse your fresh thyme and parsley thoroughly.
Gino's Tip
If your kids don’t like roasted cherry tomatoes, save a few raw tomatoes for them. Before you start, get the steak out of the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature about an hour before cooking - frying or grilling it from cold will stop the heat from penetrating to the middle as efficiently.
Step 1
Potatoes: Place a large saucepan of lightly salted water over high heat, add the baby potatoes and allow to come to the boil gently for about 15 minutes until tender but not falling apart. If you can easily push a fork in the potato then it’s done. Remove from stove and drain in a colander. Set aside to cool.
Step 2
Cherry tomatoes: Place the cherry tomatoes on a tin foil-lined baking tray. Rub the thyme in your hands and sprinkle it over the tomatoes. Drizzle over some olive oil and salt and pepper and mix. Place in the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until golden.
Step 3
Sirloin Steak: Season your sirloin steaks with salt and pepper. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat, once your pan is hot but not smoking add a glug of olive oil and fry your sirloin steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked, about med-rare to medium. You can cook your steak for a longer or shorter depending on your desired outcome. Please note though that quick-cooking cuts like sirloin, fillet, ribeye, etc will toughen up no matter the grade of meat when cooked longer as the meat has less fat than slow cuts of meat like brisket, chuck, leg, etc.
Step 4
Potato salad: Once the baby potatoes have cooled down a little, mix them with the celery, parsley, spring onions and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Honey mustard: Place a small pan on very low heat and add the butter, honey and the wholegrain mustard. Stir continuously while the butter melts, so it emulsifies, and doesn’t split.
Step 6
Serve the honey mustard butter on top ,or on the side, of your steak along with the potato salad and the roasted cherry tomatoes on the side.
