Ingredients

750g new potatoes, cut into quarters (chip size)
Olive oil
2 British sirloin steaks, about 250g each
200g mixed rocket and watercress salad leaves

For the béarnaise dressing

30ml full-fat créme fraîche
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp fresh tarragon leaves, roughly chopped

Method

Heat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C fan/gas 6. Put the potatoes in a large baking tray, toss them in 1 tbsp olive oil, season well with salt and pepper, then roast for 20-25 minutes until golden.
Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan over a high heat until smoking hot. Lightly oil the steaks and season well all over. Griddle for 2½ minutes on each side for medium-rare, or 3 minutes on each side for medium. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
Mix the dressing ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. To serve, toss the leaves and the potatoes with the dressing, then slice the steaks and lay them on top.
