    Method

    1. 1

      Slice the Yukon Gold potatoes thinly and pile them in small overlapping stacks on a baking tray, drizzled with half of the oil.

    2. 2

      Roast at 220°C (425°F) until golden and tender.

    3. 3

      Sear the beef in the remaining oil, adding the butter and thyme sprig near the end and spooning it over the meat, until it reaches 63°C (145°F).

    4. 4

      Rest the steaks for at least 3 minutes, then serve with the potato stacks.
