Instructions

Before you start

  1. Preheat the oven to 220 °C fan bake. Line an oven tray with baking paper.

Bake fries

  1. Cut the unpeeled 600 g potatoes lengthwise into 1cm-thick chips. Add to a large bowl and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, then toss to coat. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp cornflour and 1 tbsp Southern style seasoning and toss to coat. Spread on the lined tray, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until golden and crisp. Reserve the bowl.

Make caramelised onion

  1. Peel and slice 1 brown onion. Heat the 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add 2 tbsp maple syrup and 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar, and cook another 5-8 minutes until very soft. Season with salt to taste.

Make salad

  1. Meanwhile, clean the reserved bowl then add 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 tsp balsamic vinegar. Slice 1 tomato into wedges. Thinly slice 1 cucumber. Finely chop the 1 bunch parsley, discarding the stems. Add the tomato, cucumber, 2 cups mixed salad leaves and half of the parsley to the bowl with the oil and vinegar. Toss to combine and season with salt and pepper.

Cook steak

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium frypan over high heat until very hot. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook 600 g beef rump steaks, turning regularly, for 4-6 minutes for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the pan and rest for 3 minutes.

To serve

  1. Divide the steak, fries and house salad between plates. Spoon the caramelised onion over the steak and garnish the fries with the remaining parsley.
