Ingredients (7)

• 400g shoestring fries (frozen from your supermarket)
• 1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 (about 500g) boneless beef rib steaks, cut in half lengthways
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 elkhorn lettuce, leaves separated, washed, dried

Method

• Step 1 Preheat oven to 230°C. Cook the fries following packet directions or until crisp, golden and cooked through. Combine the pepper, garlic powder and salt on a large plate. Dip the steaks lightly in the pepper mixture to roughly coat.
• Step 2 Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook steaks for 3-4 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking.
• Step 3 Place steaks on serving plates and serve immediately with the shoestring fries and lettuce.
