Wine Tip
Pilsner
A cold, crisp German pilsner goes supremely well with this dish. It cleanses the palate, but doesn’t overwhelm pork’s straightforward flavor.
Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F. Cut potatoes into thin, French fry-shaped strips. In a large bowl, toss with olive oil, curry powder, ground nutmeg, and smoked salt. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake in preheated oven, turning occasionally, at 200°C/390°F for approx. 25 – 30 min. until crispy and golden.

Step 4

Pat steaks dry with kitchen towel. Season to taste with salt and pepper. In a large frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook steaks for approx. 3 – 4 min. per side. Remove pan from heat and let steaks rest for approx. 3 – 5 min. before serving. In the meantime, cut tomatoes into wedges. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Season to taste with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, mix together salad dressing, salad, and tomatoes. Serve with French fries and steaks. Enjoy!
