Succulent tender steak is a great choice with crispy potatoes and spinach.
Ingredients
- 4 large desiree potatoes
- Salt & freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra to grease
- 4 beef scotch fillet steaks
- 1 bunch English spinach, trimmed, washed
Garlic butter sauce
- 80g butter, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Method
- Step 1To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and zest and cook for 1 minute until the garlic is soft.
- Step 2Heat a barbeque plate or frying pan over a high heat. Cut the potatoes into 3mm slices. Sprinkle with salt and toss in the olive oil. Brush both sides of the steaks lightly with the extra oil. Season with lots of freshly ground pepper.
- Step 3Barbeque the potatoes for 2 minutes each side or until golden and tender. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Barbeque the steaks for 1-1 1/2 minutes each side for medium. Transfer to plate and cover with foil to rest for 3-4 minutes.
- Step 4Add the spinach to the barbeque plate and quickly drizzle 1/4 cup (60ml) of water. Cook for about 30 seconds until wilted. Divide the potatoes among serving plates and top with the steak and spinach. Reheat the sauce if required and drizzle over the spinach.

Notes
Desiree potatoes: This is the pale pink skinned potato. Leave the skin on for extra nutrition and ease of preparation. You can also use coliban, pontiac or sebago.
Beef scotch fillet: Red meat is an excellent source of iron, zinc and vitamin B12. Iron helps create red blood cells to carry life-giving oxygen all over the body.
Lemon: Use a lemon zester to zest this citrus fruit. Alternatively, peel strips of the rind with a vegetable peeler, trim any white pith and cut rind into thin long strips.
