Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the potato wedges on a baking tray and rub with the oil. Sprinkle the sesame seeds and some seasoning over. Bake for 25 mins or until crisp at the edges.

  2. In a small bowl, mix together the miso, lemon juice, chilli sauce and mirin. Rub the steaks with a tiny bit of oil and some seasoning. Spoon 1 tbsp of the sauce over each steak and rub into both sides.

  3. Heat a griddle pan until really hot, cook the steaks for 2 mins each side, or longer if you prefer it well done. Brush more of the sauce over after you turn them. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and leave to rest for 5 mins. Serve the steaks sliced, with extra sauce, the potatoes and watercress.

Beautiful recipe! I made a few alterations, using fillet instead of bavette, adding more mirin and some tamari soy sauce, and it was incredibly yummy (also, this doesn't say whether to use white or brown miso but I only had brown in so used that - I think that's the one to use). The sauce caramelises a little on the steak which contrasts so well with the almost zingy sauce. Probably don't need a full lemon's worth of juice. I would also suggest a bit more than a tbsp of sesame seeds on the wedges. This has gone straight into my favourite dishes!

I really enjoyed this recipe but what I found is that the sauce mixture in my preference tastes better with half a juiced lemon and to spice things up a little soy sauce on the sweet potatoes really goes well.

Stuck to the recipe, but used rump steak for the meat which was an inspired move. More narrative and a photo of my effort on my blog http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2853677/miso-chilli-steak-with-crispy-sweet-potatoes
