Instructions

1. **Prepare the potatoes:** Place the peeled and cubed potatoes into a pan of cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 2 minutes. Drain the potatoes thoroughly.

2. **Cook the potatoes:** Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the drained potatoes and cook gently for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden and crispy on all sides.

3. **Add garlic and parsley:** Once the potatoes are cooked, add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for an additional minute. Then, toss in the chopped parsley, season with sea salt, and set aside.

4. **Prepare the steaks:** Rub each fillet steak with a drizzle of olive oil. Press the cracked black pepper onto both sides of the steaks to coat evenly.

5. **Cook the steaks:** Heat a griddle pan over high heat until hot. Cook the steaks to your desired doneness: approximately 2½ minutes per side for medium-rare, 3½ minutes per side for medium, and 4½ minutes per side for well-done.

6. **Rest the steaks:** Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes.

7. **Serve:** Top each steak with a small knob of butter. Serve alongside the parsley potatoes and a watercress salad.

💡 Chef's Tip

- Ensure the potatoes are well-drained before frying to achieve a crispy texture. - Allow the steaks to rest after cooking to retain their juices. - Adjust the cooking time of the steaks based on your preferred level of doneness.
