    Instructions

    For the McCain Spicy Wedges, prepare the wedges according to packaging instructions. Set aside until needed, keeping the spicy wedges warm.

    For the caramelised onion, heat the butter in a frying pan and fry the onion over high heat until golden. Add a little water, decrease the heat and allow to caramelise. Set aside until needed.

    3

    For the pesto, put the 45ml (3 tbsp) olive oil, 10ml (2 tsp) garlic and the remaining ingredients into a blender and blitz until smooth.

    4

    For the tomato sauce, blitz the 45ml (3 tbsp) olive oil, 10ml (2 tsp) garlic and the remaining ingredients together to form a thick sauce.

    5

    For the steaks, heat the 65ml olive oil in a heavy-based frying pan or skillet, add the 5ml (1 tsp) garlic and fry, about 3 minutes. Season the steaks to taste. Add to the pan and fry according to your preference, dependent on your cut of choice.
