step 1
Place the potatoes (300 g) into a saucepan with one of the garlic (1/2 bulb) halves, the thyme (2 sprigs), and the bay leaf (1). Cover with cold water then add a generous amount of salt.
step 2
Bring to the boil and then simmer vigorously for 10 minutes. Strain and leave to steam dry for 2 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan.
step 3
Transfer the potatoes to a roasting tray with the oil (2 tbsp), remaining garlic (1/2 bulb) (separating the cloves) and the rosemary (1 sprig). Bake for 20 minutes, until tender and golden, tossing through the chopped rosemary (1 sprig) and butter (1 tbsp) for the last 5 minutes.
step 4
Snip the tomatoes (60 g), keeping their stalks on.
step 5
Heat the vegetable oil (1 tbsp) for the tomatoes in an oven-proof frying pan over a high heat. Add the tomatoes and season well. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until starting to blister. Put the pan of tomatoes into the oven alongside the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and add the balsamic vinegar (2 tbsp) to the pan of tomatoes to deglaze.
step 6
Meanwhile, season the steak (2) with salt and pepper.
step 7
Add the olive oil (1 tbsp) to a large frying pan and place over a medium-high heat. Place the steak into the pan and cook for 1 minute, then turn over and repeat on the other side.
step 8
Add the butter (150 g) and heat until foaming before adding the rosemary (2 sprigs). Continue to cook, turning from time to time until medium-rare, about 3-4 minutes, or to your liking.
step 9
Remove and place on a cooling rack and baste with the juices from the pan. Leave to rest for 10 minutes, covered with foil, while you make the asparagus.
step 10
Trim the asparagus (2 bunches) by bending at the woody part until it snaps. Discard the woody ends.
step 11
Add the asparagus to the steak pan over a medium-high heat and season well. Cook for 2 minutes, turning once, then place a lid on top. Reduce the heat and cook for 2 minutes or until just tender.
step 12
Reheat the steak in the oven for 5 minutes if needed, then carve thinly and place onto plates, drizzling over the chimichurri (1 jar).
step 13
Remove the lid from the asparagus and season with the lemon (1) juice. Serve on a platter with the rocket (60 g) and lemon zest, and potatoes and tomatoes on the side.
