Jamie's satisfying 5-ingredinent meals

A dash of prepared pesto drizzled on at the end brightens up Jamie's tender and juicy sirloin

Herby Steak & Crispy Potatoes

• 1 lb. red-skinned potatoes
• 1 (10 oz.) sirloin steak
• 4 tsp. fresh green pesto or pistou
• 6 ripe medium mixed-color tomatoes
• 3/4 oz. shelled unsalted pistachios

STAPLES

• Sea salt
• Black pepper
• Red wine vinegar
• Olive oil

● Scrub potatoes, chop into 3/4" chunks, then place in large nonstick skillet on medium heat with 2 Tbs. of olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper. Fry 20 min., or until golden and cooked through, stirring regularly, then transfer to bowl. Put skillet back on high heat.

● Cut the fat off the steak, then roughly chop the fat and place in the skillet to render. Generously season steak, rub all over with 2 tsp. of pesto, and cook for 3 min. on each side for medium rare, or to your liking. Remove to a plate to rest. Return the potatoes to skillet to warm through, while you slice the tomatoes 1/2"-thick and arrange on serving plates. Dress with splash of red wine vinegar and drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, and season to perfection. Spoon over potatoes, then slice and divide up steak, pouring over any resting juices. Spoon over the remaining pesto, then bash and scatter over the pistachios. Finish with a drizzle of extravirgin olive oil, if you like.
