Method

  • step 1

    Mash together the butter, miso paste and sesame seeds, then spoon onto a sheet of clingfilm and wrap and roll into a short, fat log shape. Put in the freezer.

  • step 2

    Heat the oven and cook the fries following the pack instructions.

  • step 3

    When the fries have 10 minutes left, heat a griddle or heavy-bottomed frying pan until smoking. Mix the oils together, then rub over the steaks with lots of pepper and just a little salt. Cook the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked to your liking, then lift onto a plate to rest for 2 minutes.

  • step 4

    Take the fries out of the oven, sprinkle over the togarashi and crumble over the seaweed sheet, then toss through and split between two plates. Add a steak and some salad leaves to each, and top with slices of butter.
