1. To make the fries, peel and cut 200 g Woolies’ Nicola Mediterranean potatoes into matchsticks. Use paper towel to dry and blot off excess starch. Heat sunflower oil in a medium-sized saucepan and fry the matchsticks in batches until golden brown. Remove using a slotted spoon. Drain on kitchen paper.
2. To make the sauce, heat 200 g butter and a dash of olive oil in a plan and fry 20 g chopped anchovies until they melt. Add 2 T red wine vinegar and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Set aside.
3. Pan-fry 400 g tenderised steak in a hot plan with sunflower oil for 1 minute on each side.
4. To serve, mix 200 g baby spinach into the warm anchovy sauce until wilted. Serve the steak with the sauce and fries.
