Sometimes there's nothing better than a good piece of steak with some yummy potatoes on the side. Perfect food for sporty weekends in front of the telly!

PS: Always go for free-range meat (available at selected Woolworths stores) as it's much healthier for you, and the planet. When grilling free-range meat, your coals need not be quite as hot, and keep the steaks over them for a little longer to ensure the meat is tender and juicy.

If you're grilling outdoors, read Justin Bonello's Braai Tips first.

  POTATOES TO GO  

Sheet potatoes

Preheat the oven to 230ºC. Peel, wash and thinly slice about 3 baking potatoes. Moisten with a little oil then season. Spread in a flat layer on a baking pan lined with baking paper. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until brown and crispy.

Crusty potato salad

Scrub and halve 500 g baby Mediterranean potatoes. Steam or simmer until tender. Drain. Sauté 1 red onion, thinly sliced, and potato in oil, until the potatoes are crusty and the onion well browned. Add a splash of red wine vinegar, parsley and seasoning, to taste, and mix well together.

Matchstick chips

Slice medium-sized potatoes into matchstick-sized strips and deep fry in the hot sunflower oil until crisp and golden.
