• Salt and black pepper (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter
• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
• Optional: Fresh rosemary or thyme for extra flavour.

For the roasted potatoes:

• 3–4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or red), diced
• 1 small green bell pepper, diced (optional).
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ teaspoon of garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon of dried oregano or thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste.

For the sautéed bok choy:

• 2 baby bok choy, halved or chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
• Optional extras: a pinch of chilli flakes or sesame seeds.

For the steamed broccoli:

• 1 small head of broccoli, cut into florets
• Salt and pepper, and a little butter or olive oil (optional).

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the roasted potatoes:

• Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
• In a bowl, toss the diced potatoes and bell pepper with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper.
• Spread them out evenly on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
• Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

2. Cook the steak:

• Pat the steaks dry with kitchen roll. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Heat a frying pan or cast-iron skillet over a medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
• Once hot, add the steaks and sear for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust the time according to your preferred level of doneness).
• Add the garlic (and rosemary or thyme, if using) during the last minute to enhance the aroma.
• Leave the steak to rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

3. Sauté the bok choy:

• Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat.
• Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Add the bok choy and cook for 3–5 minutes, until the leaves have wilted and the stems are slightly tender.
• Add the soy sauce and stir well. Remove from the heat.

4. Steam the broccoli:

• Steam the florets in a steamer or a pot containing a small amount of water for 5–6 minutes, until tender but still firm.
• Season with salt and pepper, and add a little butter or oil if desired.

Serve:

• Arrange the sliced steak on a plate with a serving of roasted potatoes, sautéed bok choy and steamed broccoli.
• For extra flavour, drizzle steak juices or a splash of soy or garlic butter over everything.
