Ingredients List

Chimichurri

Fries

Garlic Aioli

Method

  1. Start by preheating the oven to 200°C fan forced, place the whole garlic into tin foil with its head chopped off, pour over the oil and salt and roast for 35-40 mins until softened.
  2. Salt both sides of the steak.
  3. If using fresh potato, slice lengthways into slabs (5-7mm thick), stack the slices on top of each other then cut into sticks (3-4mm thick), and plunge into cold water with ice for 15 mins.
  4. Make the chimichurri by combining all ingredients in a bowl, taste and adjust, set aside.
  5. Heat frying oil to 170°C.
  6. Slice the mini soft loaf in half and remove some of the bread inside (makes it easier to eat).
  7. Drain and pat dry the fries, coat with corn starch and fry for 6 mins, remove from the oil for a few minutes to drain and cool, bring the heat up to 190°C and fry again for 2-3 mins until golden. Place into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle over the spices, toss and set aside.
  8. Remove the garlic from the oven, squeeze it onto a chopping board and paste it with a knife, add it into a small mixing bowl with the mayo and lemon, combine and set aside.
  9. Cook the steak on a cast iron pan until you reach an internal temperature of 46°C, rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  10. Spread a tablespoon of garlic aioli per side of bread and stack in this order: steak, chimichurri, fries, and a splash more chimichurri. Push down while you slice in half. Enjoy.
