By Esther Clark | www.bbcgoodfood.com

Ingredients

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.
