21 Day Aged Sirloin Steak and Sun-Dried Tomato Salsa

Meanwhile, peel and grate half the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Trim the green beans. Quarter the tomatoes. Finely chop the chives (use scissors if easier). 

Pop the remaining garlic (unpeeled) into a small piece of foil with a drizzle of oil and scrunch to enclose it.

Pop the parcel into the oven and roast until soft, 10-12 mins. 

In a medium bowl, combine the sun-dried tomato paste and hot water (see pantry for amount). Stir until smooth, then add the balsamic glaze, sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper. 

Once the roasted garlic has cooled, cut the end with scissors, squeeze it out of the skin and mash with a fork. Stir it into the dressing, then add the tomatoes and chives. 

Mix the salsa together, then set aside. 

About 15 mins before the potatoes are ready, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. 

Once hot, add the green beans and stir-fry until starting to char, 2-3 mins. Stir in the grated garlic, then turn the heat down to medium and cook for 1 min.

Add a splash of water and immediately cover with a lid or some foil. Cook until the beans are tender, 4-5 mins. Stir in the almonds, then transfer the beans to a bowl and cover to keep hot.

When the potatoes have 5 mins left, remove the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle over the Parmigiano Reggiano and pop back in the oven for the remaining time. 

Pop the (now empty) pan back on high heat with a drizzle of oil. Season the steaks with salt and pepper.

Once the oil is hot, lay the steaks into the pan and fry until browned, 1 min on each side. Lower the heat slightly and cook for another 1-2 mins on each side if you want them medium-rare. TIP: Cook for 1-2 mins more if you like it more well done.

Once cooked, transfer to a board, cover with foil and allow to rest for a couple of mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. The steak is safe to eat when browned on the outside.
