Cooking Instructions:

BEFORE COOKING:

Preheat oven to 210⁰c (fan bake).
1. TO PREPARE THE POTATOES:

Line an oven tray with baking paper. Place the steamed potato chips onto the tray then dry them a little using a paper towel. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper and bake in the oven for 15 mins. Turn the potato chips over and cook for a further 10-12 mins.
2. TO PREPARE THE SALAD:

Core the apple and slice into ½ cm wedges. Trim the green part of the radish, cut in half then finely slice. Place all of the above in a salad bowl and add the mesclun. Just before serving, season with salt and pepper and add the walnut and honey dressing. Mix gently to coat the leaves.
3. TO COOK THE BEEF SIRLOIN:

Remove the premium beef sirloin steaks from their packaging and pat dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once hot add the steaks and cook for 2-3 mins on each side for medium rare - a little longer for well done. Remove the pan from the heat then spoon the café de Paris butter over the steaks, cover and rest for a few minutes before slicing.
TO SERVE:

Divide the potato chips and the apple salad between plates. To finish top with the sliced café de Paris steaks.
