Ingredients:

For the steak

• 2 or 4 Home Butchers 6 ounce Sirloin steaks
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper

For the wedges

• 1 or 2 Large potatoes per person
• 1 or 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 2 teaspoons Paprika

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 200c.
2. Scrub the potatoes clean. With the potatoes resting on a clean chopping board, halve the length of each potato with a sharp knife.
3. Cut each half into a further half until you are left with four evenly sliced wedges.
4. Arrange the wedges on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle over the salt and paprika.
5. Roast for 15 minutes, turning each wedge halfway through. Continue to roast a further 15 minutes.

10. Leave the steak in the pan for about 4 to 5 minutes for a medium to well-done steak, so that it forms a nice crunchy crust around the edges and is a beautiful brown colour.
11. Rest the steak on a clean plate or chopping board for five minutes as it finished cooking.
