Method
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.
Pat the steak dry, season generously with ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper, and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Finely chop parsley5 and garlic6, then mix with 2 tsp olive oil, vinegar, dried oregano, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper.
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.
Halve the cherry3 tomatoes and slice the avocado4 into wedges. Slice the steak against the grain.
Arrange the roasted potatoes2 in a bowl, then fan out the steak, tomatoes, and avocado4 in sections.
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.
