Method

  1. Preheat oven to 410°F (210°C). Cut potatoes2 into chunks, toss with 1 tsp oil and ¼ tsp salt, then roast for 25–30 minutes until golden and tender.

  2. Pat the steak dry, season generously with ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper, and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

  3. Finely chop parsley5 and garlic6, then mix with 2 tsp olive oil, vinegar, dried oregano, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper.

  4. Heat a dry skillet over high heat, sear the steak 3–4 minutes per side for a crust and desired doneness, then rest for 5 minutes.

  5. Halve the cherry3 tomatoes and slice the avocado4 into wedges. Slice the steak against the grain.

  6. Arrange the roasted potatoes2 in a bowl, then fan out the steak, tomatoes, and avocado4 in sections.

  7. Drizzle the steak with chimichurri and serve immediately while the potatoes2 are hot.

Tips

Why it works
Pat the steak dry and let it rest at room temperature so it cooks evenly inside without drying out. A cold steak contracts when heated, and the crust turns out uneven.
Substitutions
Instead of cherry tomatoes, use 90 g of cherry tomatoes or 100 g of cherry yogurt for acidity. Replace the avocado with 100 g of baked eggplant if it's overripe.
Common mistakes
If the potatoes bake for more than 30 minutes, they fall apart and turn bland. Check after 25 minutes: they should be soft inside but not crumble.
Storing and reheating
Keep in the fridge for no more than 2 days. Reheat the steak and potatoes separately in a pan with oil, and add the avocado after reheating.
Serve with
Serve with crusty rye bread or a glass of dry white wine, for example a Riesling.
