2 tablespoons oil
200g punnet grape tomatoes
100g green beans, trimmed, blanched

- Preheat a char-grill or barbecue on high.
- Place steaks in a shallow dish. Drizzle with oil and season to taste. Toss well.
- Char-grill steaks for 2-3 minutes each side, until cooked to taste. Rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Slice thinly.
- Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan on high. Cook potato patties for 4-5 minutes each side, until golden and warmed through. Cook tomatoes with patties, until tender.

- If liked, warm the hollandaise following packet instructions.
