SLICED BEEF WITH GREEN PEPPERCORN SAUCE

1. Set oven to 220°C. Quarter potatoes and toss with 1 tbsp oil on a lined baking tray, season with 1/4 packet thyme and salt. Roast for 25 minutes, or until golden and tender.

2. Rinse and chop lettuce, slice pear, wedge tomatoes and peel carrot into ribbons. Toss with sprouts in a bowl, set aside.

3. Rub steaks with 1/2 tbsp oil and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large pan over high heat. Cook steaks for 5-6 minutes on each side or to your liking (cooking times vary with thickness of steak). Set aside on a plate to rest, reserve pan.

4. Peel and slice shallot. Cook with 1/2 tbsp oil in a saucepan for 3 minutes over medium heat, or until softened.

5. Rinse and add peppercorns, cook briefly then add diced Philadelphia cheese and 1/2 cup water. Cook, whisking, until combined. Pour in another 1/4 cup water, add 1 chicken stock cube and remaining thyme. Simmer for 5 minutes and season to taste with salt and pepper.

6. Slice and serve steaks with roasted potatoes, peppercorn sauce and side salad.

Tip!
Dress the salad with olive oil and vinegar if you prefer. Add any resting juices to the sauce for added flavour.
