Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Trim and slice the leek into thin rounds.
- Peel and dice the potatoes into even, bite-sized pieces.
- Mince the garlic.
- Finely chop the fresh parsley and spearmint.
- Drain and finely chop the capers.
- In a large pan or skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced leek and minced garlic. Cook until the leek is softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pan. Stir to combine with the leek and garlic.
- Pour in the chicken gravy and bring to a simmer. Cover the pan and let the potatoes braise until they are tender and cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are tender, stir in the peas and fresh spinach. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the peas are heated through, about 3-4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Remove the pan from heat and set aside, keeping it covered to stay warm.
- In a small bowl, combine the fresh parsley, fresh spearmint, capers, and lemon juice.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and stir well to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over high heat. Add a splash of olive oil if necessary.
- Once the pan is hot, add the steak and cook to your desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the steak.
- Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the steak against the grain into strips.
- Plate the braised potatoes, peas, and spinach on each plate.
- Divide the sliced steak evenly among the plates.
- Spoon the salsa verde over the top of the steak.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious steak with a vibrant salsa verde and flavorful braised potatoes and peas!
Tips:
- Make sure the steak is at room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the steak; doing so will help achieve a nice crust.
- Rest the steak for a few minutes after cooking to retain its juices.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon juice in the salsa verde to suit your taste.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the steak's internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium.
