What you need

Dressing

The process

First do the potatoes, add a glug of oil and the butter to a pan on a medium heat, add the poatato cubes and fru until golden brown, tossing and separating them from time to time. (They have a tendency to stick together). Remove and drain on absorbent paper.

Slice your steak across the grain into thin slices about 1/2cm thick.

Now make the dressing by adding all of the ingredients to a small pot over a low heat and whisk furiously until the sugar has dissolves.

Add your greens, avocado, crunchy potato cubes and steak to a bowl, toss it and then drizzle over the dressing.

It is really good with both hot and cold steak. I have also make it with barbecue chicken breasts sliced up and it is sublime.
