Ingredients

WEDGES

  • 400g potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 2cm-thick wedges

MISO-RUBBED BEEF SIRLOIN

  • 300g beef sirloin steaks (at room temperature)
  • 1-2 teaspoons miso paste

ASIAN PEAR SALAD

  • 1 teaspoon miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon sweet chilli sauce
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 1½ teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 baby bok choy
  • 1 spring onion
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 pear

Steps

  1. oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Preheat BBQ grill or hot plate to medium (if using).
  2. Toss wedges on prepared tray with a drizzle of oil and season well with salt and pepper. Roast for about 25 minutes, until golden brown and crunchy. Turn once during cooking to ensure even browning.
  3. While wedges cook, prepare the rest of the meal. Pat beef dry with paper towels. Place on a plate and use your fingers to massage first measure of miso paste into beef. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the salad.
  4. In a large bowl, mix together second measure of miso paste, sweet chilli sauce, lemon juice and olive oil. Thinly slice bok choy and spring onion. Peel carrot then grate carrot and pear. Add all Asian pear salad ingredients to bowl with dressing and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium fry-pan on medium heat. Cook beef for 2-3 minutes each side for medium-rare (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Reduce heat if miso starts to burn.
  6. Remove beef from pan, cover with foil and rest for about 2 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  7. divide wedges and Asian pear salad between plates and top with slices of miso-rubbed beef sirloin.
