Smoky steak with Cajun potatoes & spicy slaw served on a plate

430g Maris Piper potatoes
cut into 1.5cm chunks
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
2 tbsp olive oil
1 x 400g bavette steak
¼ small bunch of coriander
finely chopped

For the spicy slaw

¼ small red cabbage
shredded
½ red onion
finely sliced
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp soured cream
½ tbsp chipotle chilli paste

Method

step 1
Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the potatoes and cook for 5 mins. Drain and leave to steam-dry in the colander for a few minutes. Toss the potatoes with the Cajun seasoning, half the oil and a good pinch of salt. Tip onto a baking tray and roast for 25-30 mins or until golden and crisp, tossing halfway through.
step 2
To make the slaw, combine the cabbage, onion, mayonnaise, soured cream and chipotle paste in a bowl until the cabbage and onion are well coated. Set aside.
step 3
Rub the steak with the remaining oil and season both sides. Heat a griddle pan or non-stick frying pan over a high heat until very hot. Add the steak to the pan, cook for 2 mins on one side, then 3 mins on the other. Remove, put on a chopping board, cover with foil and leave to rest for 5 mins. Slice into strips.
step 4
Serve the steak with the potatoes scattered with the coriander and a pile of the spicy slaw.
