Spicy Steak with Sweet Potato

Serves: 4

Ingredients

4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 ½ teaspoons dried chilli flakes
1 tablespoon dried oregano
½ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
⅓ cup red wine vinegar
150ml olive oil
4 (200g each) Beef scotch fillet steaks
600g orange sweet potato, peeled, cut into 2cm pieces
80g baby rocket
sour cream (see tip), to serve

Method

1. Place garlic, chilli flakes, oregano, parsley, vinegar and 1/2 cup of oil in a small food processor. Process until well combined. Transfer half the marinade to a large bowl, reserve remaining marinade. Add steaks to bowl and season with salt and pepper. Turn steaks to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours (don't marinate longer, as vinegar will start to cook and toughen the meat). Heat remaining oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add sweet potatoes. Cook, stirring often, for 15 minutes or until tender. Remove pan from heat.
2. Meanwhile, preheat barbecue grill or a chargrill pan on medium-high heat. Drain steaks from marinade. Cook steaks for 3 minutes on each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Remove to a plate. Cover and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
3. Return pan with sweet potato to high heat. Add reserved marinade. Cook for 2 minutes. Place rocket in a bowl. Add sweet potato mixture. Toss to combine. Slice steaks. Place sweet potato mixture on plates. Top with steak and a dollop of sour cream. Serve.

Tips

 Always rest beef after cooking. This gives the meat juices a chance to redistribute, giving a more moist and tender result

 For a lower-fat option, replace the sour cream with thick natural yoghurt.
