the best steak and chips with sundried tomato pesto
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 400°F/ gas 6.Parboil your wedges for about 10 minutes in salted boiling water then drain well in a colander. Toss them in a little olive oil, season well with salt and spread on a baking tray. Place in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until crisp and golden.
Just before your wedges are ready to come out, get a griddle pan nice and hot over a high heat. Drizzle some olive oil over the steaks, season well with salt and pepper and rub in to the meat. Do the same to the other side of the steak.
Cook the steaks on the griddle pan to your liking, turning them every minute (approximately 2 minutes on each side for rare, 3 minutes on each side for medium and 4 minutes on each side for well done). Remove to a warm plate to rest for a minute or two while you dress your watercress and rocket with a few drizzles of extra virgin olive oil and a few good squeezes of lemon juice.
Serve your steaks with the wedge chips, a big spoonful of red pesto and your dressed leaves.
