Method

  • 1.
    Remove the steaks from fridge to come to room temperature.
  • 2.
    For the anchovy butter, place all ingredients in a small food processor, whiz until combined. Place butter on a square of baking paper and roll into a log. Chill.
  • 3.
    To make quick fries, combine grated potato and ½ tsp salt flakes in a colander. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Add thyme and combine.
  • 4.
    Heat 1cm oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat. In batches, spoon 1/3 cup portions of potato mixture into the pan. Use a spatula to flatten each to a 10cm disc. Cook 3-4 minutes each side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel, and loosely cover with foil.
  • 5.
    Heat a barbecue or chargrill to a high heat and drizzle with a little oil. Season steaks and cook, turning, for 12 minutes for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a tray, loosely covered with foil, and rest for 5 minutes.
  • 6.
    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine watercress and thinly sliced beetroot.
  • 7.
    To serve, thickly slice steaks and place on a serving platter with sliced anchovy butter, fries, and watercress and beetroot salad.
